Melbourne Fringe 2024

FUTURE | Melbourne Fringe
We asked hundreds of people just like you to predict the future, and we got hundreds of different answers. Some prophesied desolate wastelands while others saw a world which “looks bright. and gay. bright and gay.”FUTURE is a devised verbatim work built from real predictions about the future, combining utopian aesthetics, visual poetry, and a lofty vision—to create a map for how to navigate the future. FUTURE creates a space to consider our fate on our own terms and imagine a future which might just turn out ok. Join us for an evening of fears, dreams, hopes, and laments as we chart a universal destiny. The future’s calling, and we need you to pick up.
Guided Walking Tour | Melbourne Fringe
This show is exactly what it says on the tin—a guided walking tour of everywhere I’ve been on a first date in Birrarung Marr. You’ll need to bring your phone and headphones to dial in to hear a journey through perfect nights and heartbreaking ghostings. Buckle up your Birkenstocks, because we’ve got a lot to get through. Led by multi-award-winning theatre-maker Ryan Hamilton, Guided Walking Tour asserts queerness’ place in the urban fabric, examining how queer people search for love and why we build our lives around romantic connection.This is a love letter to all the boys who never ended up loving me, to Narrm, the Birrarung, and the cozy corners of the city we build a life in. With love,Ryan
