Named SummerSalt Festival, the massive undertaking is led by the Melbourne Recital Centre in collaboration with Arts Centre Melbourne, ABC, Australian Centre for Contemporary Arts, Chunky Move, Malthouse Theatre, Melbourne Theatre Company, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Opera Australia, The Australian Ballet and the Victorian College of the Arts.
From late night music, cinema and participatory arts events, SummerSalt is unlike anything Melbourne, yet alone Australia, has seen before. The program will be comprised of activities undertaken by the 11 consortia members alongside independent submissions by companies, artists and the community, and will activate under-utilised public spaces.
SummerSalt will open on Friday January 16 (to coincide with the Australian Open) and take place until late February.
