Immersive Theatre 2023

CONCEPT AND DIRECTION

ZAFFÉ is a Middle Eastern wedding party like no other. It invites audiences to take part in its dancing, singing, and ululation, but something is missing. The bridal party is absent. Toasts to their future break down into poems of longing for all that is missing here: loved ones across the sea; places forever changed; moments lost to the past.

ZAFFÉ received the inaugural Malthouse Tower commission with Melbourne Fringe and got to run for a 2-week season in October 2023. ZAFFÉ picked up the Director's Choice Award at the festival.
