​

​

As musicians / artists The Omega Point contemplate how to capture  the traces of humanity within an accelerating technological culture, in particular our unique ability to seek meaning and purpose through myth creation, ritual, song and dance.

​

Described as the makers of 'a wild brand of apocalyptic art music' by Stuart Buchanan, Digital Curator of The Sydney Opera House,

The Omega Point is a Melbourne/ Narrm based music and multimedia project, conceived by Alex Clouston, is an Audio/ Visual project that fuses electronic  music with  performative storytelling. Mark Conroy and Alex O'Connell make up the triad of core creatives within The Omega Point. 

​

​

In 2022 The Omega Point sold out the debut performances of their opera COMMUNE, supported by City of Melbourne Arts Grants. 

​​​

'In a dark and sepulchral world, we sing an acapella wish for the future of humanity.'

​

COMMUNE is an immersive multi-artform event  (a blurring of music, dance, lighting design, poetry, bold costumes and theatre), directed by’ The Omega Point and featuring a gothic kaleidoscope of haunting electronic music from their LP in the making. 

​

COMMUNE has been devised collaboratively between musicians, dancers, artists and designers to co-create an evocative, dream-like experience.

​

Taking place In a vast and spartan Carlton church, dominated by a pipe organ soaring toward the sky, COMMUNE draws us together to contemplate the future of humanity – are we on the path to self-destruction or will this be a new awakening?

​

COMMUNE, directed by Alex (Moon) Clouston, and co-devised with a diverse team of established and emerging artists, including physical theatre performers, features musicians as dancers, dancers as musicians, dream-like multimedia immersion in an exploration of possibilities for the future of humanity.
