For The Ones Who Walk Away — St Martins

Overview

Should we be willing to accept the happiness of the majority at the expense of the view? That's the question that St Martins' Youth Arts Centre will attempt to answer with For The Ones Who Walk Away, their new multidisplinary art installation at Siteworks in Brunswick.

Presented in partnership with the 2017 Melbourne Fringe Festival, and featuring a cast of more than 50 young people between the ages of nine and 18, the ambitious work draws on the traditions of promenade theatre, installation and live performance art, as it invites audiences to journey through the multi-room space. There they'll find everything from song and spoken word performances, to video art and choreography, as they search for traces of the ones who walked away.
