Don’t understand anime’s allure? Are you vexed by video games? Does K-Pop confound you? 101: AVGKPOP is a musical introduction to the very best of the above. There’ll be songs you recognise and some you may not, but all are aimed at introducing people to these fantastic methods of procrastination.

Every word in the English language, every book written in English, every play, every
poster, every poem, is fashioned from but 26 letters used in a series of different patterns. How can one possibly express the depths of the soul, the abstraction of the mind,

a number of journals containing various writing experiments will assist in the releasing
the words within. We invite you to engage at your will.
A Children’s Tragedy

The Helix
$5
Created by Stephanie Dimitriou, with Ariadne Sgouros and Eliza Quinn
A Children’s Tragedy explores the uncertain, uneasy and uncomfortable transition
from childhood into other: this growing period where you become responsible for more than you ought to, and attempt to grasp at knowledge you are not ready to understand. Drawing from Frank Wedekind’s Spring Awakening, this two-hander is intimate, unsettling, beautiful and tragic.
A Concerta-d Effort
Mon 4, 6:20pm | Wed 6, 7:35pm | Thurs 7, 8:30pm | Wed 13, 6:20pm
Thurs 14, 8pm (30 mins)
The Muse
$5
Created and performed by Tom Middleditch
The use of prescription medication to deal with the less desirable tendencies and genuine difficulties of ASD folks has been very popular for the past 30 years or so.
But, what is it like being brought up on this kind of medication? How much of an
answer is it? Come listen to Tom Middleditch lift the lid on the 15 years of his life that
was spent on prescription medication. Growing up, dealing with things, and eventually
doing away with prescription drugs, all taken one day at a time.
Absurd-ish
Mon 4, 8pm | Tues 5, 7pm | Tues 12, 7:20pm | Wed 13, 7pm Fri 15, 8:20pm (30 mins)
The Muse $5
Written and performed by John Collopy
John Collopy has been described as “funny” and “a human being”. He is at least one of these things and the strange combination of ‘sharp wit’ and a ‘brain’ means that he sometimes picks up on the bizarre, the odd, and the absurd.
This show will be an amalgamation of these things, something funny, with the acceptable number of jokes: several; and numerous humorous stories that may occasionally
rhyme. The show will certainly be curious, it will include laughs, it will be entertaining,
but most of all it will be absurd. Ish.
Acoustic Sessions with Olivia Jade
Wed 6, 8:10pm | Wed 13, 6:40pm (30 mins)
The HUB
FREE
What do you get when you take a classic show tune and turn it into a reggae song?
Or a hardcore rap favourite into a sweet folk melody? Do you enjoy a good old singa-long? Perhaps it’s the sound of a rusty six-string that tickles your ears, or maybe
it’s the pitter-patter of brushes on the old pig-skin. Or, if you’re just feeling lazy and
you happen to be standing next to a funky little folk venue, then come on in! Drink in
hand and company on arm, come and check out an acoustic session with Olivia Jade.
Accompanied by the talented Mr. Fraser Nelson, you will be in for an ear-full of cheek,
sweet originals and covers.

The Garland—The Cabaret Club
$5
Written and performed by Daniel Lodder
A cigarette, a dressing gown, an inimitable sense of style, a blithe spirit and an “Oh, darling!” here and there and voila: Noel Coward. But then, that’s not quite it.
In a performance which is both a cabaret of a cabaret and a performance of a performance, one besotted admirer hopes to have a brief encounter with not only what it was to be the Noel Coward that the man created for the public, but also the man himself, who hid so much extraordinary brilliance behind a lightness of touch.

Danception
Thurs 7, 8:45pm and 9:30pm | Fri 8, 7:30pm and 8:15pm Thurs 14, 8pm and 8:45pm (30 mins)
The Helix
$5
By C@’s of A$cot Vale (Ashlea English and Tessa Broadby)
A performance mash-up of dance, fashion, professional lip-syncing and visual art.
Witness two girls bring awareness to their inner world: their thoughts, perceptions
and sensations; through improvised dance offerings. Engage in a ritualistic clothing
swap. View an exhibition of celebrity fan art. Connect through guided meditation and
psychic forecasts.
Inspiration for the work is sourced from all things popular culture including: Youtube,
social media, celebrities and trends. Daily we are overloaded with sensory information
including a constant mental chatter. Danception will observe how the ‘mental voice’
attempts to define ‘who we are’ and creatively challenge its existence.
Dank Beats, Airtight Barrels
Mon 4, 9:25pm | Tues 5, 7:05pm | Thurs 7, 6:50pm | Fri 8, 9:05pm
Tues 12, 7:10pm | Fri 15, 9:15pm (25 mins)
The Helix $5
Created and performed by Nick Walters
Dank Beats, Airtight Barrels deconstructs the notion of intimate exchanges within
the public domain, fuelled by the culture surrounding social media applications as a
network for explicit encounter. Giving a voice to the nature of internet and popular
culture, the work questions the portrayal of masculinity, violence and censorship
in today’s cultural landscape. With ties into neurological pathways, it is an investigation of the ways in which men relate to one another and the physicality of these
interactions. Charged with physical and oftentimes violent movement sequences, this
testosterone-stricken work reflects the dark uncertainty and risk associated with
online anonymity.
Dark Paradises—Visual Art
Throughout the festival
The HUB
FREE
Created by Ryan Pola
Dark Paradises is a collection of collage work that looks at the upper echelons of
notoriety, seduction, and saddened beauty along with the lower tiers of consumerism,
dreams, and desire. These works are born of obsession and adoration, of a time once
past and of letting bygones be bygones. Drawing on former decades and modern
western values, Ryan cuts and pastes images and words to create new contexts and
new meanings. Collage is how he creates his Dark Paradise.

Elliot Roberts Tells Jokes (?)
Mon 4, 7pm | Mon 11, 8:30pm | Tues 12, 8pm (20 mins)

This Container Festival, Elliot Roberts is swapping his guitar, his musical swagger, and his James Cerche for a bare stage, painful memories, and hopefully some good

The Execution
Mon 4, 6:50pm | Tues 5, 6:45pm | Mon 11, 9:30pm | Wed 13, 6:50pm Thurs 14, 6:20pm (25 mins)
The Quirk
$5
Written and directed by Jarryd Redwood, Performed by Carla Scotto and Rhian Wilson
On the day of her execution, a criminal is given the chance to escape her deadly fate
by the one who should be administering it: her own executioner. But when all does not
go to plan for the executioner, and the game of life and death comes to a stalemate,
the two are plunged into an existential crisis wherein they debate the meaning of life, death, and everything in-between. The Execution is an absurdist piece full of wordplay, wit and wicked humour in which the actors alternate roles with each performance.

Mr Appleby is stuck in the ivory closet, but it might as well be made of glass. It’s not
that Amanda can read her boss like a book, or even that he has a visibly unhealthy
obsession with Lord Carlton. It’s just that he’ll never own up to being a snobbish,
judgemental prude. Of course, when everyone else is an uncultured, horny gossip,
one should be free to be as snobbish, prudish and judgemental as one likes. But if Mr
Appleby is to convince everyone of this shining truth, he must firstly emerge from the ivory closet.

stopping him from trying. Why don’t you come on down and watch Jackson construct
more than just poorly engineered puns? Imagine the culmination of all your bad luck
and then multiply that by 10 and square the product, then lump its occurrence into
one year. It can’t be possible to have such misfortune can it? But it can, and you’ll be
mesmerised by tears like he was–hopefully in a different sense.

Pumped-up and raring to go, or is lethargy setting in? Confused about your mood?
Why not look out of the window and let the weather decide. Melbourne Mindscapes
portrays the effect of the ever-changing Melbourne weather on our moods. A group
of students, who find themselves bright and motivated one sunny morning, transcend
into lethargy and resentment as the day progresses on, with unexpected weather conditions that result in unexpected mood swings. A comical take on what Melbournians
call ‘a day’!

Have you ever wondered what secrets a stranger has? What’s extraordinary in the
world around you? If you peel back the veneer, what lies beneath? This installation invites you to make explorations of others and yourself, and to witness the hidden world
of the creator’s community. Outliers looks beyond the external to find boundaries of
truth vs lies, reality vs fantasy, individuals vs society, us vs them. It combines documentary with fiction to find the amazing in the everyday, and to push the question of how we perceive others to the forefront.

at other iconic Melbourne venues such as the Evelyn Hotel. Their grooves delve into
reggae, latin, and take great inspiration from people like Charles Bradley and the
Menahan Street Band. One thing’s for sure with this band: when Papa G counts in, The Starcats will be there to funk shit up.

Adapted and directed by Sam Barrett from the Ingmar Bergman film, Performed by Emma Catherine Hall and Hannah Monson, Composition and sound design by Christopher de Groot
Elizabeth, a successful actress, mysteriously stops speaking one night during a performance. A plucky young nurse accompanies her to a beachside retreat to work through
this strange crisis. The two women form a bond and enjoy an idyllic, quiet existence in which nurse Alma even confesses her deepest secrets to Elizabeth.
The world they have built begins to crumble, as they both become aware of the intricate masks they wear. The seclusion forces the women to drop these masks and to confront the disturbing truth of what lies beneath them.

Mon 11, 6pm–9:30pm (Sessions 5–7 mins pp)
miniMUST
$2 at the miniMUST door—No bookings
Performed by Anna Burley / Ira Luxuria
Viewing burlesque, as well as performing it, creates and requires something of a
magical distance between performer and audience to allow fantasies of glamour to
play out. In the blind spots between stage lighting and audience seating, we can’t be
entirely sure that both parties are seeing each other for what they really are. What if
we eschewed this for five minutes? In a short experiment, you and I will perform our
roles as voyeur and spectacle face-to-face. I’m Anna, I’m also sometimes burlesque
dancer Ira Luxuria. I do sexy dances for big crowds, but not tonight.

this multi-form performance work is a live investigation into the psyches and dreamscapes of others. Following the success of Unforgettable at the 2013 Container Festival,
Tom Molyneux returns with an audio-sensory, verbatim piece that permits the audience to enter a realm that ordinarily remains forbidden–the world of dreams.

Haydyn Jones, James O’Donoghue, Mimi Petrakis, Stephanie Dimitriou, Tara Dowler
and Zoe Dove.
Emma and Edmund’s relationship was built on close encounters, chance meetings and
missed connections. For some reason they just kept running into each other. Edmund
thought it was a sign, Emma thought that was ridiculous. They both think they are
meant to be together. Then they break up. Then they get lonely and get back together.
Then they break up again. A pair of twenty-somethings stuck in a cycle of love and
heartbreak. Each performance the story of their relationship will be told through ten
scenes, performed in a random order created by the audience.

The Garland–The Cabaret Club
$5
Performed by Sophie Jevons and Bec Whiting
Last year, we brought a piano to life, and serenaded you with it. This year, the piano’s
gone AWOL. A fresh look at cabaret presented by two girls who really can’t play a set
of keys. So, we’ve found some intimate instruments to cruelly misuse for your entertainment. Disclaimer: we harmed many violins in the making of this piece.

The Quirk
$5
Written by Tara Calaby, Directed by Ephiny Gale, Performed by Maria Roitman, Victoria Brown and Lauren O’Dwyer
The Black Death. The Blitz. The clone conflict. So many dead. Survival never comes
free, and blame is always subjective. Italy, 1630, the full force of the plague: Catherina has tried to save her family, but doing so has cost her everything. London, 1941, a bomb shelter: Irene’s husband is off at war, but their love story is far from conventional. Melbourne, the future: the clones have malfunctioned, and Regan doesn’t know who she can trust–perhaps not even herself. These women
are still alive–for now–and some confessions can only come out of the shadows.

The Garland–The Cabaret Club
$5
Created and Performed by Tara Dowler and Elizabeth Brennan
Waves crash over my mistreated frame. Heart beats in time to the crunch of vengeful
footsteps in the snow. We meet our ends at the hands of our captors. Voiceless are we, daughters us both. The Skeleton Women is a new theatrical work exploring life,
death, entrapment, love, murder and betrayal in the Inuit folktale The Skeleton Woman and the legend of Icelandic murderess Agnes Magnúsdóttir. Interspersed with original music, The Skeleton Women is a sometimes chilling, at other times heartening intermingling of two stories that both begin with a wilful murder: the making of infamous legends.

Hassett, Natesha Somasundaram and Mark Paguio
Two performers are each handed a script as they walk on stage. In it lies the complete
history of a relationship–only they don’t know whose relationship, as they’ve never
seen the script before. They have no idea where they are going; only that it will take
them from meet-cute to end-ugly, or maybe the other way around. There are two sides
to every story, and every relationship has a lifetime worth. Well maybe not literally a
lifetime, but there are definitely quite a few. Like twelve, maybe. Regardless, in the end
they are the Stories of Us.

This may seem like your ordinary train ride. Same smelly and slightly soiled seats.
Same ticket inspector ready to devour your soul. Same person listening to Gangnam
Style without their earphones. Except… it’s not. This carriage is hijacked and you might
have to–heaven forbid–TALK to the people around you. It’s pure madness! We’re
bringing the “public” back to public transport. A cabaret ride filled with all of the song,
dance and anecdotal probing that can turn this train off its rails. If you can’t stand
ordinary train rides, we get it. But we think you might like this one.

Daryl and Davo are identical twins with a dream. A dream to be world famous opera

The Quirk $5
Written and directed by Joseph Brown, Performed by Nicola Grear and Jonny Dutaillis
The play tells the story of a young couple whose relationship has disintegrated. In the
midst of the final removal of the other from each of their lives, questions emerge; questions of infidelity, the purpose of the physical and the real motives of loving someone.
The show considers the language we use and the words with which we choose to represent ourselves. The true intent of a person is not in the words they use, but how much
of themselves they put into those words. The audience will witness the piece twice,
with the actors swapping roles.

who finishes training as the war ends. A husband and wife who meet at a refugee
camp, and learn how to deep sea walk. And a girl who does ad work in a country where nobody owns a television. You Had To Be There is an attempt to be a part of these stories. To understand the people I never met and the people I love, before they met me.

Sensitive Content
With a festival that encourages the creation of new challenging
work, there may be content that some viewers could find difficult.
We encourage audiences to read the blurbs in the program carefully
and use their discretion when booking for events. Please email us on [email protected] or call 9905 8173 if you have concerns,
or speak to the volunteers at the festival.
Booking—Terms and Conditions
With some noted exclusions (please consult The Container Festival
program) audience members must book for all events they wish to attend, even if they have purchased a Festival Pass or Day Pass.
Bookings close five minutes before an event’s start time.
• If a Festival Pass or Day Pass is being used for payment, the pass holder’s photo ID may be requested in order to place a booking.
• To attend pre-booked events in containers or The Garland, audience members must wait in the designated waiting area in the festival HUB at least five minutes before the event’s start time. Please DO NOT go directly to any venues other than the HUB.
• Online booking requests via: [email protected] are only available to Festival Pass and Day Pass holders, and must be made at least 48 hours in advance of the requested event. The success of these requests is not absolutely guaranteed; audience members will receive an emailed reply stating whether or not their booking request was successful.
• Refunds may only be issued if an event has been cancelled, and are generally only available for individual ticket purchases (not for Festival Passes or Day Passes).
• Please read event descriptions carefully and make enquiries as outlined above if you would like further information on sensi-
tive content. Audience members are asked to use discretion when booking for and attending events.
• Intoxicated patrons may be refused entry to any part of the festival.
• Food and beverages are not permitted inside the containers.
For your comfort
Keeping warm
There will be a few blankets in each container to help keep you
warm and a few spares at The HUB should you need them.
We recommend wearing layers to The Container Festival, particularly if you will be attending a few venues. A warm coat that you can wear in a container and remove in The HUB while you have a dance, would be ideal.
Strobe Lighting
Please note that when strobe lighting will be used in a performance,
this is mentioned under the performance blurb in the program.
Monash University’s new smoking policy—designated areas only
From 28 July 2014, you cannot smoke on any Monash campus, except for at designated smoking points. Smoking is also prohibited in
all Monash buildings and vehicles. We’ve included a map so you can
check out the point closest to The HUB. It’s near the permaculture
garden, west of the campus centre.
By 2016, Monash will be entirely smoke-free.
By moving towards a smoke-free campus, Monash is supporting the health of students, staff, contractors and visitors.
Transitioning to a smoke-free campus requires respect for others–
both non-smokers and smokers. After 28 July, you are free to
respectfully and politely remind smokers that they must only smoke
at designated smoking points.
Monash actively supports staff and students who wish to quit or
reduce their smoking through a range of services.
