Exhibition: RAIN (Free)


  • ArtPlay Melbourne (map)

Artists: Threshold

Find your reflection in puddles, arrange fuzzy felt pieces and dive into a moment of rest as you are immersed in the generosity of rain.  

Take a moment to chart the seasons between you and your child. Find the weather patterns in the ever-changing dynamics of your relationship.

Since its creation at ArtPlay in 2013, RAIN has toured consistently with sold out seasons to major national and international festivals and performing arts centres. Originally created as a theatrical installation by SEAM artists Liz Francis, Nikita Hederics, Mardi Thorpe and Alicia Stafford, Drop Bear Theatre artists Carolyn Bechervaise and Sarah Lockwood and cellist Edwina Cordingley.  

RAIN is produced by Threshold, a company creating experiences that invite people to connect more deeply with each other.  

Commissioned by ArtPlay, this is RAIN's first outing re-imagined as an interactive installation.
