'Spend a night with the street as your home.

Venture into the underworld of "Site UnSeen" where social exclusion and homelessness collide with mirth, satire, beauty and grim reality. An interactive multimedia theatre piece, Site UnSeen literally walks its audience through the darkened streets of St Kilda, crafting with dark humour and wit, the sensate moments that constitute a life of homelessness.

Created by art and theatre workers collaborating with communities of people who have experienced homelessness, "Site UnSeen" utilises iconic locations around St Kilda to present the reality of those who are most invisible, and has been co-created by people who have been there.

From the initial Circus of Exclusion to the final Kaleidoscope of Multiple Exits, the show discards the veils surrounding invisible people and places, to take you on an extraordinary journey where the usual codes of behaviour do not apply ... or help you survive. "Site Unseen" combines visual installations, images, simulation, elephants, sound-scapes and actors. Source: www.onlymelbourne.com.au/ (Sighted 11/10/2011).
