When? at Frankston Arts Centre

In When?, Chinese Australian musician, composer and performer Mindy Meng Wang uses ancient Chinese harp (guzheng), cello with electronic effects, synthesisers and film footage collected by Chinese and Australian filmmakers to create an emotional and immersive audio-visual meditation on family, memories and life during global lockdown.

Circa’s Peepshow at Frankston Arts Centre

Circa's Peepshow turns cabaret on its head, literally. Join Circa as they embark on a seductive dance through the hall of mirrors that is your imagination, Circa's Peepshow lurches from the thrillingly acrobatic to the comically playful. Expect teetering towers of balanced bodies, extreme bending, beguiling burlesque, and devilishly precarious aerials.
