GET ON THE INTERNET!

Can Simone go viral in one day? And can she do it while exposing the cracks of social media? Simone serves us a subversive digital interrogation of truth. Mixing social media experiments with interactive live performance, come witness Simone’s explorations as she dives into influencer culture and our dangerous obsession with crafting “authentic” versions of ourselves online.

Throughout the festival we will have regular ‘Afternoon Art Breaks’ on Instagram featuring some of our art babe faves, including 3 brilliant new commissions or rarely seen pieces of work by Ira Brand, Rachel Briscoe and Silvia Mercuriali. Read more about each of the pieces below, and catch them on the Omnibus Instagram page from 1pm each day of the festival!

Rachel’s work will premiere on Tuesday 1st, Ira’s on Wednesday 2nd and Silvia’s on Friday 4th March.

Part documentary, part live performance, part parody, part desperate as f*ck. See-Through is an edited, unedited, live, pre-recorded, reality show that invites you to see behind the camera.

Jemima will be working with her long time collaborator Alan Fielden and her first time collaborator, half-pomeranian-quarter-pug-quarter-chihuahua mortal deity, Juniper.

An epic, indulgent audio experience which invites you into the sonic world of horror. It is part horror dreamscape, part investigation into a cultural hunger for HORROR. It asks what keeps you up at night, where fear dances with the imagination, and what it means to make friends with the unknown.

We begin a movement or an action and deviate its route, producing a line whose direction is always forward. There is no repetition. Straight forward, accepting every disruption along the way. Watch us and observe where we allow ourselves to be led. Become the voyeur of our path.

Join Varjack-Lowry for an online workshop, exploring their tips and tricks for collaboration, creativity and digital practice.  If you are interested in collaboration, hybrid performance making, participatory practice, and having a good time online, then this is the workshop for you!

Hot Cousin are 4 BFFs who make trashy, messy, boundary pushing hybrid shows across three different continents, over the internet. And you can trust your besties, right? In the spirit of mystery, gossip and lies, the Hot Cousin pals attempt to create something out of nothing- and no one can be trusted. Drop in at any time to catch us in the act and see what we’ve made from Ohio, Brisbane and Omnibus Theatre, during the 24 hour Hot Cousin Mystery Party!

What is it like to follow a stranger through the city – a stranger who may or may not know you are following them?

The Shadows is a site-specific work that bridges the virtual and the real worlds. It’s a short, collaborative film that is soundtracked by the city, a story that is only completed when the participant walks in the city’s unpredictable streets.

Part story, part immersive audio experience and part walk, A Walk in the Park is a 30 minute illumination of the games we play in public spaces, and the different rules that apply, depending on who you are.

Catherine is currently developing Mary and Her Monster, an interactive hybrid performance on mothering and monstrosity. Come and explore Catherine’s research and development process — participate in interactive experiments and contribute to a conversation around mothering, creativity, mental health, and how we can build a world designed for mother-artists to flourish.
