Site UnSeen (Australia)
World Premiere
Presented by City of Port Phillip,
Many Moons Group, The Port Phillip
Community Group and Sacred Heart
Mission in association with
Melbourne Festival
Spend a night with the street
as your home.
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.
