Enter a world (well three galleries-worth) of illumination in this dedicated exhibition of light.

Theatre review: The Black Woman of Gippsland, Southbank Theatre, The Sumner

A modern mystery tale about Indigenous identity.

'The Door in Question' is part of Sleepless Footscray Festival. A moody and atmospheric photograph of a person wearing a white VR headset; they are framed by a window, making us feel almost voyeuristic as we look at them. Behind the seated figure are sheets of paper stuck on the wall, including old pages and photographs from a book.

Immersive review: The Door in Question, 47 Paisley St, Footscray

A heady mix of VR, interactive AI and immersive theatre take over a series of empty rooms and suburban streets…

A scene from STC's 2025 production of Beckett's 'Happy Days'. A woman with her bottom half hidden in a mound of dirt. There's a black plastic bag next to her, and on her other side is man with his back to us, holding up a newspaper. He too is visible only from his waist up.
