After surveying queers from all generations across Sydney, RUSH offers audiences an array of different club experiences and invites you to pick and choose the ones you love best, creating your own perfect night out. A ‘choose your own adventure’, if you will. RUSH is an immersive performance installation exploring where our queer parties came from and where they are headed.

Hundreds + Thousands
Luke George & Daniel Kok
21 - 23 Oct
$45 - $35
Hundreds + Thousands is a performance for humans and their plant companions, created and performed by the artists and their plant collaborators. Blending choreography, experimental music and installation—all co-created with a vast array of plant species—Hundreds + Thousands blurs the boundaries between people and the rest of the natural world of which we are but a small part.
Rupture: all the stars unshining BoneDirt
Everyday of the festival
Free
Created by pioneering experimental artists V Barratt, Linda Dement and Jessie Boylan, Rupture: all the stars unshining explores how symptoms of environmental and human ‘disorder’ can be seen as an appropriate response to personal traumas and global disaster. This relationship plays out across multiple screens as an affective installation, with occasional moments of live performance, placing Barratt’s body in direct conversation with extraordinary video footage of landscapes in states of transformation and flux.
