Antony Gormley - Inside Australia at Lake Ballard
An installation of abstracted steel figures standing in a 7 square kilometre area of Lake Ballard.
"It is an attempt at the sublime, to engage with big sky, big space, time beyond mind and space, beyond the limits of perception." (Antony Gormley)

Genesis - From the Museum of Sleep
Remarkable theatre-making that merges stories from the Bible with our own human history, with each of three acts evoking focal moments of creation and destruction.

Götterdammerung (Twilight of the Gods)
The Twilight of the Gods is considered to be the finest of The Ring Cycle works by Richard Wagner, and will be presented in association with the WA Opera Company and WA Symphony orchestra in the Perth Concert Hall on Thursday 13 February and Saturday 15 February.

Incognita
Incognita is a major new work by the Stalker Theatre company comprising dance, acrobatics, theatre and aerial choreography exploring the seared landscape of the Australian interior. It will be performed at the Midland Railways workshops from 9 - 16 February.
