The 13-day festival will offer a range of immersive theatre events and other unique performance experiences across Melbourne

Building upon the success of its debut year in 2014, the programme for the second Festival of Live Art in Melbourne has been announced. The Festival aims to take Melbournians on a collaborative and immersive journey over 13 days in March with over 50 creative experiences on offer.

Jointly produced by Arts House, Theatre Works and Footscray Community Arts Centre, the Festival of Live Art pushes the boundaries of conventional performance and traditional theatre by engaging audiences in immersive environments. This adventurous style of performance examines the contemporary world we inhabit by inviting the audience to be part of the performance. This year’s Festival will examine the economics of the arts, explore the misogyny of social media, and examine the pervasive modern-day obsession with digital devices, putting personal and natural world connections at risk.
