For those who dare, how about taking an evening
drive through the suburbs of the inner north and watching some of its residents
going about their lives? With Suburbia,
you can do just that. Three audience members are picked up at the front of the
North Melbourne Town Hall and squeezed into the back of a Honda to see suburbia
in a very different light. It's a literal journey through everyday yet surreal
streetscapes and experiences. There will also be snacks.
"It's about driving with mum and dad at night and also
about being frightened about all the weird shit that happens after 10pm in the
suburbs," Davina Wright, writer and director of Suburbia explains.
"It's also about looking at things and how looking at things helps us be
okay. I guess we can say expect the unexpected! No one has said that
before right?"
