Overview
Watch out, it’s the October arts festival pile-up! With Fringe still kicking, the seriously big acts are already rolling into town for the Melbourne Festival and outgoing artistic director Brett Sheehy has made his last year one to remember.
The program has everything from Dutch child actors playing out visions of their future adult lives inside a room of one-way mirrors, to Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo laying down live soundtracks to avant garde cinema, to an interactive art piece for babies. There’ll be an art-themed film program too this year, curated by former MIFF director Richard Moore, alongside cutting edge dance and experimental theatre plenty.
With the guest list including impressive names like Thomas Ostermeier, back from Germany to remix Ibsen again, Antony and the Johnsons and even Billy Bragg, it’s one of the biggest festivals yet. Could this possibly be more art than even Melbourne can handle?
