On the second floor of an old building in central Melbourne, an artist’s studio is waiting to be emptied. Marigold is moving out and you have been hired to pack her stuff.

Can you curiously explore her studio, handle her personal objects and sort through her belongings to piece together Marigold’s story?
In this one-person interactive experience, you will be invited to play with some bubble wrap, pack a few boxes and reflect on growth, places and endings.

This project received Cash for Equity through the Fringe Fund, as part of the Ralph Mclean Microgrants program.

    A close up shot of three people. You can only see their shoulders and the bottom halves of their faces and there are shadows across most of the image. On the far right, a person with red lipstick on has their tongue out, about to lick the face of the person in the middle. The person in the middle is wearing a striped navy and white shirt, and they have their face tilted up with a look of both pain and pleasure. On the far left, a person in a blue suit is whispering in the ear of the person in the centre. They also have their hand around the throat of the person in the centre.
