Melburnians and visitors alike will become the voices, instruments and performers of Communitas, a world premiere interactive event to be held as part of RISING in 2024.

Led by Melbourne electronic duo Shouse (whose 2017 track ‘Love Tonight’ went viral in 2021 after being remixed by French DJ and producer David Guetta) Communitas will be staged within St Paul’s Cathedral in the heart of the city.
