2025-09-30 19:30 - 2025-10-04 00:00 | Meat Market – Craft Room, 5 Blackwood St, North Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, 3051, Australia
After sold-out seasons at the Melbourne Fringe Festival 2024 and Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2025, The Migration Office returns with a sharp, absurd, and delightfully spicy hour of comedy. This ethnically diverse troupe blends stand-up, sketch, improv, clowning, and storytelling to explore cultural experiences and ethnic issues. With each show unique, audiences can expect thought-provoking humour, playful absurdity, and a dynamic ensemble performance.

Singh and Blanes
2025-10-01 19:30 - 21:00 | The Count’s, The Ian Potter Centre for Performing Arts, Monash University Performing Arts Centres (MPAC), 48 Exhibition Walk, Clayton, VIC, 3800, Australia
Two of Melbourne’s finest performers bring their contrasting musical and cultural lineages together to sing a love story of duets, captured beautifully on their debut album I Choose You (Pound Records). Whilst paying homage to the romantic duets of the 1930s and ’40s, Singh and Blanes give the style their own relatable modern twist—lyrically traversing today’s more complicated emotional terrain with grace and originality.
Parvyn Singh, a classically trained traditional Indian vocalist, dancer and musician, was ARIA-nominated for her debut solo record Sa (2022). She is known for her role as the ‘Mysterious Lady’ in the internationally acclaimed group The Bombay Royale.
Jazz and classical pianist, composer and vocalist Hue Blanes, recipient of the PBS Young Elder of Jazz Award (2017), is renowned for his elegant musicianship and charismatic performances. His background in jazz brings a subtle improvisational sensibility to the duo’s sound.
Featuring Blanes on vocals, piano and harmonium, and Singh on vocals and sitar, hear dream-like songs that drift between Indian tradition, old-school ballads and understated jazz textures—reminiscent of a time forgot.
Eat & Drink
Make a meal of it! The music gets underway at 7.30pm, but arrive a bit earlier if you can. From 6.30pm, enjoy pre-show dinner and drinks at The Count’s Italian-style kitchen and bar. Reservations are not required when you purchase a ticket to a show. Order from the QR code on your table, or at the bar. View the menu.

What happens when a half-Aussie, half-Indian IT project manager swaps spreadsheets for stand-up? Add two eye-rolling teenagers, a basketball team convinced he’s Phil Jackson, a boundary-testing dog, and an obsession with cricket—and you’ve got Sunny The Funny Bunny, a hilariously chaotic solo debut from SunnyDUV.
This high-energy show dives into juggling cultures, careers, and curry powder while trying (and often failing) to be the “cool papa.” Sunny’s sharp observations and heartfelt humour turn family meltdowns, mid-Zoom dog chases, and Olympic-level laziness into stories that feel all too familiar.
Expect big laughs, unexpected tenderness, and a few biryani metaphors along the way. Perfect for parents, techies, sports tragics or anyone who’s ever tried to hold it together when life goes sideways.

Dual lead vocalists both acclaimed Indian Idol talents lead the charge with soaring, emotive performances backed by a dynamic band.
This family-friendly show offers a bold, beautiful journey through tradition and innovation perfect for lovers of global fusion, South Asian music, or anyone seeking an immersive live experience.

Resistance | ചെറുത്തുനില്പ് - South Indian Dance production
2025-10-08 18:30 - 19:30 | Kaos Room, The Blue Room Theatre, 53 James Street Northbridge, Perth, WA, 6003, Australia
The show brings South Indian Traditional Dance to the Forefront of Protest and Performance in Australian Premiere.
Powerful solo dance theatre work challenges gendered violence through ancient form and contemporary storytelling.
Acclaimed dancer and choreographer Swaroopa Prameela Unni makes her Australian
mainstage debut with Resistance | ചെറുത്തുനില്പ്, an interdisciplinary solo
performance running at The Blue Room Theatre from 8–11 October 2025. Earlier this year,
Swaroopa was awarded a choreographic residency through the Arts and Culture Trust,
which played a crucial role in the development of Resistance.
Fusing the traditional South Indian dance form of Mohiniyattam with spoken word, digital
media, and original music, Resistance confronts systems of power and gendered violence
through a deeply personal, culturally grounded lens. This is the first time Mohiniyattam — a
form often associated with idealised femininity — has been presented in this way on a West
Australian stage.
“Mohiniyattam is often seen as a celebration of idealised femininity—soft, delicate,
obedient,” says Unni. “Perth audiences don’t often get to witness traditional Indian forms
like Mohiniyattam being used in this way: not to preserve an ideal, but to challenge it.”
Drawing from both personal experience and broader social issues, Resistance contributes a
vital and often absent perspective in national conversations around gender equality,
particularly as they relate to migrant and culturally diverse communities in Australia.
“My hope is that audiences leave with a deeper awareness of how gendered violence can be
embedded not only in systems, but in the most intimate parts of culture—and how art can
be a powerful way of pushing back,” says Unni.
About the Artist
Swaroopa Prameela Unni is a Bharatanatyam and Mohiniyattam dancer, choreographer and
educator who relocated to Boorloo/Perth in 2024 from Aotearoa/New Zealand. Since her
arrival, she has presented work at Subiaco Arts Centre, Scratch Night – Perth Festival 2025, Adelaide Fringe Festival 2025, The Blue Room Theatre Season and more. She is also a recipient of the Arts and Culture Trust choreographic residency and Make A Start 2025
residency at Lucy Guerin Inc.
Unni’s practice has spanned Aotearoa and India over more than a decade. She is the
founder of Natyaloka School of Indian Dance (Ōtepoti/Dunedin), and her choreographic
works often explore feminist narratives, identity, and belonging through Indian classical
forms. Resistance | ചെറുത്തുനില്പ് was first premiered in 2019 in Aotearoa and is her
most personal work to date.

Festival director Mitu Bhowmick Lange AM agrees: “Full Plate” isn’t just a film it’s a testament to why Indian cinema matters: it entertains, challenges, and heals.
Beyond the opening night, expect over 15 films across languages and genres, panel discussions, filmmaker Q&As, and plenty of opportunities to soak up the magic of Indian cinema.

Come Eat With Me కమ్ ఈట్ విత్ మీ
2025-10-10 18:30 - 20:00 | Campbelltown Arts Centre, 1 Art Gallery Rd, Campbelltown, Sydney, New South Wales, 2560, Australia
‘Come Eat With Me’ is an interdisciplinary theatre performance exploring the layered relationship between caste and food, culminating in a shared meal.
Through Dalit stories, histories and everyday resistance, ‘Come Eat With Me’ invites you on a sensory and emotional journey that unpacks themes of oppression and solidarity, grief and joy and the resilience of Oppressed Caste communities.
Intimate and participatory, ‘Come Eat With Me’ is rooted in lived experience and collective memory. The performance transforms the act of inter and intra-communal eating – a practice often shaped by caste hierarchies – into a space for reflection, connection and community building.
Concluding with a shared meal, this powerful and immersive experience reveals how culinary traditions can carry both historical trauma and the quiet triumphs of survival and resistance.

About the artist
Sri Vamsi Matta, or simply Vamsi, is a Bangalore-based interdisciplinary theatre artist whose work is deeply informed by his Dalit identity, experiences, and the socio-political context of his location. As a member of a community historically marginalized and labeled “untouchable” within the Hindu caste system, Vamsi critically engages with oppressive structures and narratives affecting his community.
His recent work includes ‘Star in the Sky’, a play that poignantly captures the struggles and resilience of Dalit students in Indian universities, exploring themes of pain, identity, and systemic discrimination. Developed under Indian Ensemble’s Idea Development Lab-First Draft program, the play was a runner-up for the Tata Lit Fest’s Sultan Padamsee Playwriting Award. The play opened on 26th April, 2025
Vamsi co-founded OffStream, a Bangalore based arts collective supporting artists with an anti-caste lens, and building community around anti-caste histories and imaginations. He also co-founded Perishable Goods Collective, a transdisciplinary artist collective using food and art to challenge caste oppression and reclaim marginalized cultural narratives.

Lucky Ali 'Journey Through the Decades' - Melbourne
2025-10-10 19:30 - 22:30 | Northcote Theatre, 216 High Street, Northcote, Victoria, 3070, Australia
One of India’s most distinctive and beloved singer-songwriters, Lucky Ali, is set to return to Australia and New Zealand this October with a brand new concert experience and a Journey Through the Decades Tour. Revered for his soulful voice and timeless melodies, Lucky Ali will take fans on a nostalgic musical journey spanning his celebrated career, making stops at Adelaide’s Norwood Concert Hall, the Sydney Opera House, Northcote Theatre and Auckland’s Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre.
“It’s always a joy to share my music with audiences who have embraced it across time and distance. Returning to Australia and New Zealand feels like reconnecting with old friends. Performing at the iconic Sydney Opera House is a dream every artist carries, and to experience that in such a beautiful country is truly humbling. I’m equally honoured to be part of the BNZ Diwali function in Auckland, celebrating the spirit and colours of our shared culture. I look forward to creating moments that we can carry in our hearts for years to come.” – Lucky Ali
Lucky Ali, an Indian actor and singer, is most renowned for his singing career, which has connected generations through melody, memory, and meaning. Ali’s debut album, Sunoh, was an instant success, establishing him as a prominent figure in the Indian pop scene. In 1996, he received a Screen Award, followed by the Channel V Viewers’ Choice Award in 1997, both for Best Pop Male Vocalist, for his work on Sunoh. The album remained on the MTV Asia Charts for 60 weeks, and its song ‘O Sanam’ is considered one of the best Indian pop songs. Lucky went on to release his second album, Sifar, third album, Aks, both well received by music enthusiasts.
His distinctive style, characterised by his husky voice and ballad-style singing, and his lyrics explore unique themes such as freedom, loneliness, purposelessness, and wanderings. Lucky’s songs have transcended time, becoming cultural touchstones for audiences across generations, evoking nostalgia, emotion, and authenticity.
Outside of music, he has lent his voice to Hrithik Roshan for the songs ‘Na Tum Jaano Na Hum’ and ‘Ek Pal Ka Jeena’ in the film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, earning him the Filmfare award for Best Male Playback Singer for ‘Na Tum Jaano Na Hum’. Lucky Ali has also appeared in several Hindi films, including Hamare Tumhare (1979), Trikaal (1985), Yehi Hai Zindagi (1997), Kaante (2002), Sur – The Melody of Life (2002), and Kasak (2005).
This October, Lucky Ali brings his magic to Australia and New Zealand with the Journey Through the Decades Tour. Beloved tracks like O Sanam, Na Tum Jano Na Hum, Gori Teri Aankhen to Ek Pal Ka Jeena and Safarnama will come alive in this intimate series of performances.
