Supported by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, the ACT Government through Screen ACT and the City of Melbourne through Arts House. Deepspace was developed through Arts House’s CultureLAB with the assistance of Creative Victoria.

Combining dance, sound and installation, Deepspace is a mesmerising, intimate performance that examines our curiosity for the unknown.
Playing at the intersection of art and science, the body is taken to the extremities of remoteness and proximity, connectedness and isolation, certainty and uncertainty. A condition, Australian choreographer James Batchelor and visual artist Annalise Rees experienced while spending two months at sea studying remote volcanic islands in the sub-Antarctic. From their experiences, Deepspace was born. Performed in the spacious hall of the Railway Museum, the artists bring the audience on an attempt to return to this unique, isolated landscape.

International Festival of Contemporary Theatre "Homo Novus" is the leading performing arts festival in Latvia and one of the biggest in the Baltic region. Festival takes place in Riga from September 6 till 12, 2018 and introduces audiences to both new and renowned artists that seek ways of expressing their views and opinions about the world and the society. Festival offers a range of performances as well as seminars, workshops and other activities.
