Get Real

To describe life realistically would take longer than to live it – that is why Get Real is shorter than life.

This new work is the theatrical outcome of an investigation into not only what is real, but also what is more real than real.

Think close-ups. But also think an establishing shot so wide that it can contain planets.
Think make-up. But also think gentle make-up remover wipes.
Think séance: Young people in a circle conjuring something. Lip sync, mascara and high resolution.

Oh, also, this is not a show about the AI revolution.

Devised by Embolden 2026 Ensemble, St Martins Youth Arts Centre.

Presented as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival and supported by City of Melbourne Arts Grants.
