What if anyone could step into the concert hall and play? Concerts of the Future from The Sonicrats and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is a cutting-edge VR experience that invites audiences to perform Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 as a playing member of a world-class orchestra – no musical experience required. Using instruments from the future, audiences move from spectator to performer in a bold reimagining of the concert experience. Choose your instrument.

Powerful and deeply moving, Glass Child shares the real-life bond between siblings Kayah, a young man with Down’s syndrome, and his sister Maitreyah. Blending dance, theatre and storytelling, the work explores love, perception and difference, inviting audiences to reflect on how we see and treat others.

Joel Bray has DADDY issues. In this playful, participatory work, the acclaimed Aboriginal choreographer explores longing for his father and a lost mother tongue. Moving through a candy-coloured world and the audience itself, Bray combines humour and intimacy with a sharp interrogation of colonisation.

Alex Hines and Sarah Stafford present BIRDS. Kath and Kim meets Waiting for Godot with a laugh a line. Meet Shayna and Beverley as they escape to the beach in search of relief, but as they gossip and sunbathe, the world begins to unravel around them. Absurd, sharp and darkly funny, this is an end-of-days comedy with its head firmly in the sand.

Family Fringe favourites The Listies return with their brand-new show 110% Ready, a comedy disaster movie about the morning routine. As Rich tries to leave the house on time and Matt derails everything, expect puns, slapstick chaos and gloriously silly mayhem for the whole family.

Gravity & Other Myths bring back their universally adored international hit Ten Thousand Hours, which sold out in 2025. An exhilarating ode to dedication and mastery, the work celebrates the countless hours of effort behind extraordinary performance and serves as a love letter to the craft itself.

Also featured are the joint recipients of the 2026 House of Oz Purse Prize: Fuccbois: Live in Concert and How Not to Make It in America. The prize has quickly become a major career accelerator, supporting outstanding independent artists to present work at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Fuccbois: Live in Concert sees four female performers as drag ‘princes’ to deliver a sharp masterclass in boy band toxicity. This is a glitzy, comic pop spectacle featuring a setlist of tracks so infectious they feel like genuine Top 10 hits. It is a sharp, high-energy satire of the modern masc by ARIA Award-winning writer Bridie Connell.

How Not to Make It in America, by Emily Steel, is a powerful solo work set in 2001. Following a young Australian actor in New York whose dreams unravel after 9/11, the piece blends humour and heartbreak, with a solo performer transforming into 28 characters in a remarkably gripping tour-de-force.

House of Oz is an award-winning philanthropic organisation championing Australian creative arts on international stages and screens. By providing production, marketing, travel and development support, it removes the tyranny of distance that can limit opportunities for artists. With more than 1,200 performances produced and a strong international presence, House of Oz continues to showcase the diversity and excellence of Australian talent worldwide.
