A Melbourne-shot adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are has been postponed to be ‘lightened up' but artists have meanwhile banded together to fix Sendak enthusiasts with the wild. MAX GRR! is brought to the Melbourne International Design Festival by an architect, a choreographer and a dancer. Revolving around Sendak's famed children's fable, this installation of melded art forms in Centre Place will be filled with as much narrative as it is medium.
Architect Ben Edwards, choreographer Kate Stanley and dancer Fiona Bryant have played with Centre Place's dankness, it's high-walled shadows and natural nightly eeriness to pull Sendak's story of Max's mischief and his monstrous encounters out of the pages and into a choreographed performance. The experiential nature of the piece means there'll be a restricted number of audience members circulating at any given time. So you'll need to book.
