One Night Only
2025One Night Only was a collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Jackson Castiglione.
Presented by Darebin Arts Speakeasy
Each night an ordinary citizen takes on the role of the Protagonist, playing out the story of their life before our eyes. With the Rawcus Ensemble as their guides and supporting cast, the Protagonist jumps backwards and forwards through time, reenacting the pivotal moments large and small that have shaped who they are.
Revisiting love, grief, heartbreak, joy, conflict, catharsis and serendipity with us as their witness, this bold production journeys into what make us unique, and what we all have in common. With a new Protagonist stepping onto the stage each night, One Night Only is an unrepeatable experiment that asks, what constitutes our shared humanity?
