Dig out your flares, dust off your best fake fur, put on your dancing shoes and head down to Federation Square for an afternoon you will not forget.
Sunbury’s BoilOver Performance Ensemble will be performing an uplifting celebration of 70s and 80s disco grooves in the heart of the city as part of Melbourne Fringe.
The ensemble will present ‘Meet Me At The Disco’ taking audience members inside the dream of a bored and lonely young man who, after finding a dusty old record player under his grandparents’ bed, wakes to find himself in a pumping, sequin-filled nightclub.
This energetic and fun production promises to bring a smile to your face and get you moving with a public post-show disco.
“‘Meet Me At The Disco’ is a celebration of self-expression and individuality,” BoilOver’s creative director Carmen Maddison said.
“We invite you to put aside your inhibitions, put your sparkles on, and feel free to embrace the power of coming together in music and in dance.”
The cast will perform on Melbourne Fringe’s Power Move illuminated, kinetic dancefloor which will be set up at Federation Square from September 30 to October 19.
Every move and every stomp will generate clean, green energy as well as joy and connection as the people of Melbourne come together.
The production will be accompanied by a live set of disco classics by Melbourne composer and sound artist Ciaran Frame who returns to Federation Square following his 2023 world record 10,000 kazoos gathering as part of Melbourne’s Rising festival.
‘Meet Me At The Disco’ takes place on Thursday October 2, at 1pm and 3pm with a public disco following each performance. Tickets are free.
The performance is wheelchair accessible, audio described and Auslan embedded.
This project has been Fringe Funded and has been made more accessible with support from Access Fringe.
This project has also been supported by a Ralph Mclean Microgrant.
BoilOver Performance Ensemble has been proudly supported by Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health for over 15 years. To contact BoilOver, call Carmen Maddison on 0491 781673 or email boilover@scchc.org.au
