We're All Going To Die Festival
An interactive death-themed arts festival takes over St Kilda's Espy for three nights.
Overview
'Fear less, live more' is the motto of this death-themed arts festival, which encourages participants to embrace life. Born in Sydney in 2017, We're All Going To Die will showcase in Melbourne for the first time this year — taking over St Kilda's masterfully revamped Espy for three nights from Tuesday, March 26–Thursday, March 28.
Founded by artist and director Stefan Hunt, the festival spawned from his poem, illustrated adult book and film by the same name. For the mini-fest, Hunt brings together artists, performers, psychologists and other creative communities in an empowering and interactive program that explores our notions of death and life.
The mini-festival kicks off at 6.30pm and tickets will set you back $45 a pop. Those dollars will get you access to a whole range of interactive experiences, including judgement-free bedroom dancing with Groove Therapy, death meditation run by Sydney's Indigo Project (with psychologist Mary Hoang and musician Phondup), life drawing classes and live art installations.
Plus nightly screenings of Hunt's film We're All Going To Die, which examines fear of death and the meaning of life.
We're All Going To Die kicks off at 6.30pm each night.
