Call it THE OTHER Melbourne International Arts festival - West Space are putting on a three-week festival of sound, performance, and audiovisual art. And the most you'll pay is $20 - can't say that about the German opera can you? If it makes noise or it's got images that move then you'll find it in Tomorrow The World.
