The Square

  • Free
  • Family and kids

The Square is an act of radical participation – a durational art event that invites the public into a fun and powerful experiment of shared truth-telling. Hosted by the young artists of House of Muchness, this interactive experience sits somewhere between performance, social mapping and civic census.

Inside The Square is a simple format: A rolling list of statements is read aloud and participants respond not with words but with movement. They step into one of only three zones — Yes, No or Maybe – aligning their bodies with their beliefs, habits and memories.

The event is shaped by a spontaneous community. Attendees can choose to observe, or step into The Square to participate directly.

Part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
