Blanc Noir at Chadstone – The Fashion Capital

Overview

Was The Queen's Gambit on repeat in your Netflix queue? Were you engrossed in the chess scandals of 2022? Well, get ready to immerse yourself in a world of monochromatism at the Blanc Noir festival, coming to Chadstone – The Fashion Capital.

Adding to Chadstone's retail, dining and entertainment offerings — including its new precinct The Social Quarter — Blanc Noir presents yet another reason to visit the shopping mecca. Running for a limited time only, Blanc Noir will feature cabaret acts, magic, street theatre and interactive performances.

Take a stroll through the black and white precinct to partake in a game of giant chess — and be in with a chance to win a Chadstone gift card — or attend the interactive shows created exclusively for Chadstone.

Two after-dark performances will be hosted on Fridays and Saturdays: The Curious Game and Chess Cabaret. The Curious Game promises an imaginative and humorous production where the world of fairy tales and chess collide. You'll find The Curious Game at 4.30pm and 6.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Chess Cabaret will showcase dynamic physical theatre, magic and circus acts that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It has showings at 3.30pm, 5.30pm and 7.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

Keen to keep your kids entertained during the school holidays? Chadstone is hosting a free school holiday program called Chess Mates as part of Blanc Noir. It features chess-inspired arts and crafts, whimsical performances, games and dance. There are sessions at 10am, 12pm and 2pm daily with an extra class at 4.00pm on Thursdays and Sundays.

So whether you're looking for something different, something for your kids during the school holidays or an energetic and exciting circus act, put Blanc Noir in your diaries.
