If you delve in, will you ever come back? Deakin’s third-year students are brewing a wild and creative storm that will alter its audiences forever. Brimming with action, comedy, horror, and critical storytelling, this show will rock the limits of any. Please arrive 10 minutes before the starting time of the show to check in at the box office. This is a single show made up of 5 different performances. You cannot purchase tickets for individual shows. The first performance has a lockout policy so if you arrive late you will have to wait to be ushered into the theatre between performances. The performances are as follows; Unfaithful by Nobis Unfaithful is a powerful performance set in 1980s, following a priest’s journey through faith, fear, and doubt during a Catholic exorcism. Part of the 2024 Grad fest, the production uses classic horror tropes while pushing the boundaries of traditional theatre. The audience becomes immersed in the action, questioning what they hear or see as the line between reality and the supernatural blurs. Utilising immersive soundscapes, eerie projections, and drastic set changes, the show presents hallucinations and supernatural events that heighten the tension. The technical design complements the linear narrative, creating a world where faith is tested and evil confronts the characters head-on. Themes of isolation, belief, and redemption drive the story, making Unfaithful an intense and thought-provoking experience. Content Warnings: Religious content, Gore, Violence, Supernatural themes/imagery, Strobe effects. ENTERS ALONE by Quake “Let me back in. I can’t stay out here in the cold.” Created by Ilona Lamb and Tom Savery, this is an expressionist performance inspired by Steven Moffat and Gideon Media. Explore an expressive reflection on lingering relationships and minds haunted by the past. Pat and Jess find their exes have lingered with them, and the two start to question their reality as they are called to return to their past. Despite all their doubts and difficulties, these two strangers must help each other escape into a new way of living. Because even if it isn’t easy, they just have to. Content warnings: Loud noises, bright lights, bigoted language, depictions of mental illness. Honey, I'm Home! by How often do you cry A chilling portrayal of a mother's struggle within a crumbling world, revealing the unsettling truths of the “nuclear” family life. That is how they became the Brady Bunch. ‘Honey, I'm Home!’ tears at the fabric of an implosive world, exposing a mother’s struggle to cope with the crushing expectations placed on women within a domestic nuclear family. Through a blend of surrealism and non-naturalism, this contemporary work focuses on the dark, unsettling realities behind closed doors, questioning who the real monster is within the social sphere and how safe we really are with the people we love. ‘How Often Do You Cry’ is a collective inspired by real life horrors and the body’s ability to evoke fear. Drawing from the conventions of Robert Wilson and Bouffon, this company aims to challenge the audiences' preconceptions of love and safety, leaving them with haunting, unforgettable imagery, forever. Content warnings: Violence, flashing lights, gore, disturbing imagery, sudden loud noises, mental illness, pregnancy and childbirth. Popular Belief by Retold Theatre Co. What side of history are you on? Popular Belief is a historical exploration of famous women across time through the lens of their exploitation at the hands of the patriarchy. Persephone, who staged a rebellion against her husband Hades, Joan of Arc, who defied the standards of her time, and led France towards peace, Anne Boleyn, who convinced the King of England to create a new church and Mary Shelley, who even after so many years still hasn’t gotten the recognition she deserves for inventing gothic fiction with Frankenstein. This short theatre piece examines themes of resilience, power, historical feminism and the enduring spirit and impacts of women who refused to be silenced. Content warnings: Implied sexual violence, blood, illusions to death and kidnapping. Coronation Day by Bodily Harmony Be immersed in a dark fantasy world ruled by bestial tyrant whose nobles strive to climb the hierarchal ladder for control. In an unprecedented event, the ever-gracious Lord Ta invites you, The Gaogui, to the coronation of the eternal consort. Bask in the festivities and cultural traditions of noble-born Liang. As is decreed by Lord Ta conqueror of The Pingmin and subjugator of The Gaogui, attend on this day or face a fate worse than your rebellious Pingmin ancestors. Coronation Day is an exhilarating dance theatre performance that fuses conventional theatrical scriptwriting with contemporary puppetry, dance, physical theatre, and movement devising processes. Conjoining these visceral disciplines, Coronation Day reveals a tale of power, manipulation, and survival. Inspired by fantasy role-playing game narratives and practitioners such as DV8, Handspring Puppet Company and Song of a Goat Theatre, this ensemble explores haunting images of power dynamics and insubordination in a world governed by fear of absolute authority. Content warnings: Low pressure audience participation, flashing lights (seizure warning), loud noises, simulated music. Information Source: Deakin University, SCCA Dance & Drama | eventbrite

Actor-artist Ursula Garcia presents ‘Am I an Insect, or am I a Girl?’, a durational work that investigates the connection between women and insects. In this durational experience, you are invited into the world of ‘Bug-Girl’, in which you are summonsed to observe and interact within the world created by the artist. When you enter the space, you are encouraged to handle the supplied materials, read and follow any instructions given, open anything, or simply stay and contemplate as Bug-Girl continues her daily routine.

This is a durational performance and you can spend as little or as long as you want exploring it during the 3-hour timeframe. You are also welcome to leave and then return at a later point in the performance to see what has changed. This performance takes place within the 2024 Honours Performance Festival.
