​DEMOLISH exposes the fragility of home.   
​It takes us inside the heart of cataclysmic change.

 
Performed at the Bendigo Showgrounds, on Dja Dja Wurrung country, DEMOLISH explores the precarious nature of how we live in the landscape, and what that will mean for our future.
 
DEMOLISH delves into the destruction implicit in development and 'progress', through an enthralling blend of dance and physical theatre, a touch of mayhem and gold hot pants! 
 
A moving, theatrical spectacle created by goldfields theatre-makers Rebecca Russell and Ken Evans, with performers Janette Hoe (dance artist), Christy Flaws and Luke O’Connor (physical theatre performers) with Clunes farmer, Christine Rowe and Dja Dja Wurrung elder Aunty Linda Ford.  

Hard hitting truths, dance and destruction.

DEMOLISH is a new Australian work by regional artists, commissioned by Creative Victoria for the Regional Centre for Culture 2018 in partnership with the City of Greater Bendigo and the Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation.
