Matters of Life and Death is Performance Space’s program of international and Australian works exploring the ultimate driving force of life: our fear of death.
These works offer a rich and unconventional collection of ideas about aging, longevity, ancestry, extinction and the anxieties of the living. You are invited to delve deep into the unknown and become intimately comfortable with ‘the other side’.
So pack up your most primal fears and your brightest hopes, and join us for an inspiring three weeks of participatory performance, unsettling installations, contemporary dance, food preserving workshops, discussions about the great beyond, and much more!
