Due West Immersive Arts Festival
18 days of immersive performances, music and parties across Melbourne's western suburbs.
Overview
Foot-a-scray legend Franco Cozzo and his beloved furniture store will play host to a unique night of projections, discussions and performances as part of a brand new immersive arts festival coming to Melbourne's western suburbs.
Presented in partnership with the City of Maribyrnong, Due West will run from August 10-27 and will feature a combination of music, performance art, cabaret, panel discussions, poetry readings, parties and more. Franco's furniture shop isn't the only famous location involved, either. Commuters at Footscray Station can catch performance art before boarding their trains, or, if you'd rather travel by water, you can take a guerrilla opera cruise down the Maribyrnong River.
Other program highlights include a black and white house party by Post Industrial Design, along with A Scandal in the Weimar, a reimagining of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes story, set against the cabaret scene of pre-war Berlin. For a little extra immersion, punters can stick around after the show for a drink at the post-performance, pop-up speakeasy.
