Fringe fun comes to West

ROBOTIC and ‘mechanised experimental percussion installation performances’ will be held at Newport’s Substation this Saturday as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival. 

Curated by Speak Percussion, Automation features free, all-day performances and interactive installations. Speak Percussion’s artistic director, Eugene Ughetti (pictured), said the exhibition proved that art music wasn’t confined to concert halls or elite musicians. 

Free shows from 1-4pm will be followed by a free community performance at 6pm. A grand finale at 8pm costs $15/$10 concession. Details: melbournefringe.com.au
