Haircuts by Children
Participate at your peril.
Overview
With a lot of the shows at Melbourne Festival, it's hard to get an idea what to expect from the name alone. But that's certainly not the case with Haircuts by Children, in which brave volunteers (if you're one of them, you can register online) will be placed at the mercy of pre-teens with scissors. Conceived by Canadian artist Darren O'Donnell, the work explores the extent to which we are willing to trust and empower future generations.
Held over two weekends, the first pop-up haircut station will be held at Razor Dolls in Windsor on October 15 and 16 before it moves to Fur Hairdressing in Fitzroy for October 22 and 23. The upside? You get a free haircut. The downside? There's no guarantee it'll be any good.
