Stone. Sweat. Fear. From deep within – a low, strange moan. This is a place of terror. Of sacrifice. Of reckoning. This is the Labyrinth.
Presented by Colectivo Forestal, co-presented by Festival Midsumma y Convento de Abbotsford, this otherworldly theatrical journey is a remount of the successful development showing of Labyrinth in 2024. Descend into the Labyrinth of Greek mythology and witness the ordeal of Theseus, Ariadne and her half-brother the Minotaur.
Exploring the very human themes of lust, love, shame and mystery, audiences are enveloped in an immersive electro dance-operatic theatre experience. Not to be missed.

Colectivo Forestal
A visionary non-profit artistic company based in Naarm-Melbourne. Forest Collective passionately advocates for diversity and artistic freedom in contemporary classical music, dance, and collaborative projects.
Their mission is centred on commissioning and presenting a kaleidoscope of art forms. They nurture and provide a platform for under-represented artists and the artistically vulnerable to create in a safe space.
Led by the guiding hand of composer and conductor Evan J Lawson, Forest Collective is a dynamic force, orchestrated by a dedicated team of creative practitioners. We are committed to fostering connections within our artistic community, embracing a multi-disciplinary approach that distils the essence of our elevator pitch: artists who engage with cross art-form collaborations, creating authentic and unexpected experiences.
Since their inception in 2009, born from the minds of Victorian College of the Arts students, they have metamorphosed from a conventional classical-art-music ensemble, into a dynamic company of artists from a diversity of disciplines. At their core, Forest Collective celebrates Art Music in all its contemporary, adventurous, and playful forms.
Escuela Industrial y Lavandería Magdalen venues are wheelchair accessible.
