Labyrinth Lawson, E.

Stone. Sweat. Fear. 
From deep within – a low, strange moan.     

This is a place of terror. Of sacrifice. Of reckoning.

This is the Labyrinth.

In the haunting corridors beneath Abbotsford Convent, Forest Collective presents a new dance-opera & piano concerto.

Through this immersive theatrical experience, you will descend into the labyrinth of Greek myth, witnessing first-hand the ordeal of Theseus, Ariadne and her half-brother, the Minotaur.

Evan J Lawson’s music and Daniel Szesiong Todd’s libretto confront themes of shame, isolation and redemption, while maverick Melbourne pianist Danaë Killian gives powerful voice to the work’s dramatically-embedded piano concerto. Ashley Dougan’s visceral, yet lyrical choreography brings a desperate humanity to this epic tale.

Enter the Labyrinth in 2024.

Presented by Forest Collective, Abbotsford Convent and Midsumma Festival.

Supported by the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM).
