Stay at Home
“If you can stay at home, you must stay at home” - Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, March 25th, 2020
Stay at Home explores how the pandemic affects those who experience domestic violence, when lockdown doesn’t restrict your independence but your safety. This is a self-guided audio work for you to experience alone at home. Put in your headphones and follow instructions provided as the work guides you from room to room.
No need to be self-conscious; you’re at home.
This project is amplified by Craig Semple as part of Melbourne Fringe’s ShowSupport.
Supported by the City of Melbourne COVID-19 Arts Grants.
"Stay at Home, isn’t an escape...it leaves you alone at the end, unable to debrief; a story to tell and no one to tell it to." — Keith Gow
