Overview
The Kings Cross Hotel is about to be transformed into an immersive wonderland as part of this year's Vivid Sydney festival. As part of the truly epic Vivid Music program (which includes the world premiere of Björk's digital project), the hotel will be in full swing with a slew of live music, theatre and cabaret throughout the three weeks of the festival from May 27 until June 18.
Along with five-storey dance parties and cabaret performances, from June 1 the venue will go into immersive theatre mode on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Visiting Hours will see the Hotel become a mysterious old hospital with performances taking place across the five floors. It's been produced and directed by bAKEHOUSE Theatre, so you know it's going to be legit. And a little creepy.
Running over six nights, the theatrics will kick off at 7pm. Groups will be staggered at 30 minute intervals to keep space uncrowded and make sure you're totally immersed, from start to finish.
