About this event

WA Youth Theatre Company returns to FRINGE WORLD in 2021 with a fresh take on their multi award-winning site-specific production REST. This immersive experience leads you through the hidden stories of the East Perth Cemeteries. What histories are buried here? And do they lie within you?

This reimagined, intimate promenade returns after a sell-out run in 2019 and is set to enchant audiences once again.

"Sometimes unsettling, often beautiful, REST is a potent, haunting and exemplary production" ★★★★ ArtsHub, 2019

"Cleverly conceived and immaculately researched." ★★★★½ The West, 2019

"As fine a piece of site-specific theatre as I can remember"★★★★★ From The Turnstiles, 2019

Presented by:
Western Australian Youth Theatre Company

WA Youth Theatre Company is focused on professionally-led, collaborative theatre making and performance training with diverse groups of Western Australians aged between 13 and 26 years. We make bold and thought provoking theatre across genres and forms with our members because we know that in tandem with an artist-led collaborative process this engenders personal growth as well as a deep and relevant understanding of contemporary practice. Our artistic endeavours champion the diversity of our members’ voices and stories. The high-quality performances created with and by our engaged young artists stimulate and inspire audiences and enrich the wider community of Western Australia.
