North & West Melbourne Upcoming Events.
How Do I Let You Die?
As Australia careened from deadly bushfires to the beginning of COVID-19, and as Hmong-Australian writer Michele Lee was working on Asian ghost TV shows, she rang her parents for 30 minutes each day.
How Do I Let You Die? assembles an extraordinary team of Asian-Australian artists to weave together phone calls, Asian ghost tropes, Hmong horror stories, and the simple potency of an adult child coming to term with a parent’s eventual death.
As moments of acute and layered crisis bring mortality achingly close, this charming and tender work of theatre offers moments of humour and nuance, and moments of contradiction, to wonder on our approaches to this life and the next.
Tickets from $10 -$35

This is Our Youth
This is Our Youth, by American dramatist and screenwriter Kenneth Lonergan, is a realistic dissection of the complications and challenges that plague late adolescence.
Set in early, Reagan-era New York City, the play follows 19-year old Warren Straub who has just been kicked out of home by his abusive father, stolen $15,000 from him, and carted it across town to seek shelter at close friend and role model, Dennis Ziegler’s apartment. Dennis, the older and more domineering of the two, concocts a plan to use the money to purchase and resell cocaine in order to make back what Warren has already spent. As this plan unfolds, we are introduced to Jessica Goldman, and watch as she and Warren navigate the awkwardness surrounding their feelings for each other, and the social implications of choosing whether, or not, to act on them.
Tickets from $30 to $40

Weredingo
Weredingo is a profound and playful work of dance theatre that challenges the western interpretation of shapeshifting. In the western context, shapeshifting is limited to folklore and pop culture. However, shapeshifting for First Nations people reflects past, present and future.
Through sharp movement and text, Weredingo follows the intertwining journeys of three shapeshifters, exploring their experiences and physical powers. It covers the good, the bad; the cultural, the political; the pain and the pleasure.
Led by a First Nations team, this story is brought to life alongside beautiful animations by Studio Gilay and projection by Wirrim Studios.
Tickets from $10 to $35
