Sensory Experiments
This immersive experience combines scent, performance and sound in a historic dome in Docklands.
Overview
What do Vue de Monde executive chef Justin James, critically acclaimed floral artist Hattie Malloy, and the structural engineering team behind the Sydney Opera House have in common? They all collaborated on Sensory Experiments, an astounding, ambitious, one-of-a-kind social experiment-performance art cross that's guaranteed to challenge your mind and engage every one of your senses.
Billed as both a "manifesto for sensory intelligence" and a "fleshy live experience", the hyper-immersive work will be open for a single day at the heritage Norla Dome in Dockland as part of Melbourne Design Week.
So what can you expect? Upon entering the silent, cold room, you will be me with an elaborate floral installation specially designed to captivate eye and nose alike. From there, you'll be led deeper into the installation to taste edible art (petals are on the menu) and witness (and participate in) a series of performances choreographed to soundscapes designed by the team behind the most iconic venue in Australia.
It's set to be a real journey — so come prepared.
