Summary

Dancing Monsters Emerge community procession crossing Birkenhead Bridge, Port Adelaide. This event was part of the 2021 Adelaide Fringe Festival. The community procession began at 8.30pm on Sunday 14 March 2021 and crossed the Birkenhead Bridge in Port Adelaide before concluding at the Folklore Cafe in Mundy Street, Port Adelaide. The community procession asked the questions, what if you could protect, or represent a place that was important to you by becoming a Monster? How would the Monster move? What would it look like? The show included a screening, then a live, interactive musical performance of monsters responding to this question. Drawn from a place-making project, funded by the City of Port Adelaide.

General notes

As dusk descended on Sunday 14 March, a group of humans and monsters gathered by an old salty river, making music as they moved over the Birkenhead Bridge to the other side, where the music continued. Why the strange procession? To protect the beautiful Port River and all life that depend on the River. Monsters can appear strange or fearsome in order to protect important places. The public were invited to join in as a Monster, musician, local citizen or interested weirdo to add to the festive mystery of Dancing Monsters.
