As the curtain rises in 2024, Geelong Arts Centre is the place to be to unleash creativity and experience the extraordinary.
The upcoming lineup of high calibre shows promises an eclectic mix of performances that celebrate the rich history of the past and pave the way for groundbreaking stories making history today.
In 2023, Geelong Arts Centre launched their brand-new contemporary program pillar REWIRE. In 2024, they’re taking it up a notch with five electric performances with an edge that challenge, thrill, and delight all at once. If you haven’t already dipped your toes in the exciting new venture, there’s never been a better time to browse the program and lock in for a new kind of arts experience.
Stay up to date with what’s happening within the region’s art scene here.
First up on the REWIRE roster in 2024 comes Garry Starr: Greece Lightning from March 1 – 2 in The Open House. Having single handedly saved the performing arts in 2018 with his multi-award-winning debut show, Garry Starr Performs Everything, comic wunderkind Garry returns with another anarchic masterclass not to be ‘mythed’. Be there when this overzealous idiot attempts to perform all of Greek Mythology in order to save his Hellenic homeland from economic ruin.
In a world first in SEASON 2024, Back to Back Theatre take to The Story House from April 11 – 13 with the world premiere of their brand new work, MULTIPLE BAD THINGS. MULTIPLE BAD THINGS is theatre. It is not real. But in a world where self-righteously indignant voices so often drown out the most disenfranchised and vulnerable, this theatre sometimes feels real. Tackle important topics of inclusion, identity and intersectionality in this harrowing production.
Back to Back Theatre unveils provocative new production Multiple Bad Things
Packing a punch (quite literally) from May 3 – 4, the final instalment of the successful works from A Slightly Isolated Dog hits The Open House with THE TROJAN WAR; A raucous celebration of our ridiculous lives, combining theatrical magic, wicked pop songs and fierce wit to playfully explore questions around the current chaos of our times. Don’t miss the chance to witness this dynamic reinterpretation of an age-old saga, where the boundaries between spectator and performer blur, and the resonance of the Trojan War is brought vividly to life on the modern stage.
Geelong Arts Centre is sending an open invite to transform into a realm where time converges and narratives collide. SEASON 2024 is a vibrant mosaic, blending echoes of the past with the groundbreaking tales shaping our present.
