Exploring the wondrous RISING festival program at Arts Centre Melbourne Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon at the University of Bristol
Words By Meg Crawford
From a tribute to Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupiŋu to a supernatural forest and two seminal theatre shows, Arts Centre Melbourne has prepared something special for RISING festival.
If you’re going to start anything auspiciously, you may as well kick off on a full lunar eclipse, which is exactly when Melbourne’s brand-spanking new cultural extravaganza, RISING, presses go. For 12 days starting Wednesday May 26, RISING will sprawl the city and bring live music, art, theatre, installations and everything in between to different districts, including The Birrarung, Midtown and Chinatown.

A 130-seat luminescent glasshouse – dubbed
The Lighthouse – will be perched on the amphitheatre of the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, and serve sit-down three-course dinners of freshwater fish and ethically sourced meat from Provenir. I am hell-bent on the idea of a great contemporary restaurant in a festival, it excites me, Moyle says. Why can t we be eating really good food in an environment that isn t where we usually go for meals? Festivals don t have to be all dagwood dogs. Chef David Moyle will have his own pop-up restaurant at Rising Festival.
