Amber McCartney x Shapednoise x MATRIA

Sat 23 Aug

Royal Exhibition Building

Step into MATRIA — a vast, living installation that acts as both sanctuary and threshold. This immersive space sets the stage for a powerful double-bill performance featuring narrm-based dancer and choreographer Amber McCartney alongside Sicilian producer, sound designer, and DJ Shapednoise (aka Nino Pedone).

McCartney brings her latest, leech 2, a work of uncanny movement that conjures surreal, unsettling physicality through prosthetics, masks and special effects. Bodies become strange and unfamiliar, blurring the boundary between the human and the other, the performer and the fiction.

Following McCartney’s visual and physical odyssey, Shapednoise bends sonic conventions, blending experimental electronics and meticulous sound design.

The performance channels raw energy, confronting body and mind. Together, these artists create an enthralling sensory journey that explores transformation, pushing the limits of perception. For one night only, step into an alternate world, take a moment to pause and linger in the unknown, and lose yourself in the experience.
