MEDIA RELEASE • 12 DECEMBER 2022
In 2023, Geelong Arts Centre introduces a brand new program of genre-bending performances and unique experiences with REWIRE.
A celebration of experimental art, contemporary Australian voice, and immersive experiences with a modern edge, REWIRE will deliver an assortment of acts that encourage interaction and exploration.
Staging works that challenge, thrill, and delight, REWIRE is the home of bold, curious, creative and boundary-defying within Geelong Arts Centre’s 2023 line up.
2023 is the perfect time to try something new, and with four fabulous experiences on offer, from epic rock spectaculars to interactive pub performances, digital exposés and raw storytelling; REWIRE encourages arts-lovers to explore their wild side with different and daring creative experiences.
Starting 23 March with electrifying live rockumentary 27 Club, experience music and stories from the likes of Joplin, Winehouse, Cobain, Morrison, and Hendrix; legends who will forever be 27 and the legacy they left behind.
Want to take your typical pub trivia night to the next level? From 11-13 May, I Liked It, BUT… heads to Little Creatures for pub trivia with a twist in this silly, irreverent and interactive experience to be remembered, birthed from the mind of creator, choreographer and performer, Joel Bray.
Later from 28-29 July, RECKŌNING is a powerful celebration of Indigenous culture through storytelling, original songs, and dance. A recognition of past injustices, a journey through understanding, and a celebration of Indigenous cultures’ survival, creativity and strength.
Finally, from 3-5 August, dive into an otherworldly interactive, digital experience that explores entitlement, consumption and the global gap between rich and poor with Rich Kids: A History Of Shopping Malls In Tehran.
