An interactive multimedia theatre piece,  Site UnSeen literally walks its audience through the darkened streets of St Kilda, crafting with dark humour and wit the sensate moments that constitute an experience of homelessness. From its absurdist funfair sideshow – the ‘Circus of Exclusion’ – to an unsettling multimedia simulation of a night spent in temporary housing, Site UnSeen is by turns playful and challenging – a call to action that exposes the ignored stories of the street.
