Metanoia Live Works

Overview

The team at Metanoia Theatre have curated a series of special live art pieces as part of the Metanoia Live Works program at the Mechanics Institute in Brunswick. The live art showcase will feature six original productions, combining dance, theatre, visual art and a whole lot more.

First up in the program is Speculative Subject, a dance work by Amanda Betlehem and Phebe Schmidt that will be performed in a number of unconventional spaces. Premiering at the same time will be Paula van Beek's Copy, Cut, Paste, described as a day-long workshop and public exhibition that explores female identity in the age of social media.

Other works on the program include the performance installation Milk Bars, Lauren Simmonds' Unseen and a durational live performance inspired by Eugene Ionesco's absurdist play The Chairs. Its full title? The Spectre of Death Looms Large Despite the Variable Messages Being Inevitable (aka The Chairs).
