The River Eats

Urban mythmakers Justin Shoulder and collaborators create a unique fusion of hand-made craft with live performance, in a spectacular theatrical ceremony.

The River Eats charts the journey of Pinky - an over-caffeinated, attention-deficient demon whose identity is undergoing a fantastic metamorphosis. As Pinky’s haunted psyche unravels, we are dragged into a turbulent techno world of mirrors and estrangement.

Based on the Taoist notion that every independent entity possesses an inherent opposite, this is an evolutionary tale of instinct navigating a world of material distraction.

A standout of Melbourne’s 2012 Next Wave Festival, The River Eats is a visually stunning fable of transformation and desire.

Bingo Unit

"One of the hits of the Next Wave Festival." - Herald Sun

Grab a police badge, holster and gun, and step into a TV crime drama.

BINGO Unit is an interactive, multimedia police drama experience, inviting you to explore your inner good or bad cop.

Play your part in the show and join Team MESS and special guest stars Caroline Craig (Underbelly, Blue Heelers) and Wendy Blacklock (Number 96) on a studio backlot tour to complete the shooting of the pilot episode.

You'll be fuelled with donuts and coffee to explore the studios, and live all your favourite cop clichés and hard-hitting drama, with plenty of guns, forensic babble, line-ups, interrogations, twists, turns and a dramatic courtroom finale.

Call Out: BINGO Unit pre-production location shoots.

To play a part in the location shoots 2-6 July, please email projects@performancespace.com.au for more details.

I’m Your Man

Ringside voices deliver a knockout punch... you will seldom see theatre as vivid and as warm as this" Sydney Morning Herald

"9/10 "Don't miss it." Sun Herald

"Oades has an extraordinary ability to take us into different worlds and introduce us to new people" (John McCallum, The Australian)
A Sydney Festival 2012 sell out show. Enter the boxing gym, a place of dreams, of glory, of a better life. Between skipping ropes and punching bags, you train hard, being sure of only one thing: you will eventually lose.
For months, theatre director Roslyn Oades followed a determined young boxer from Western Sydney through his preparations for a world title fight. Based on real-life interview recordings of those she met along his journey, I'm Your Man is the story of legends, up-and-comers and failed contenders who have been irreversibly changed by the fight game.
