SUMMARY:Once On This Island
DESCRIPTION:A tale of one young girl as she fearlessly follows her heart\, defying even the expectations of the Gods\nFrom the Tony Award-winning songwriting duo of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Seussical\, Ragtime) comes the Olivier Award-winning Once on This Island. This vibrant adaptation infuses its Caribbean roots with Australia’s own rich cultural tapestry\, injecting new life into the Hans Christian Anderson tale\, The Little Mermaid. \nTi Moune\, a humble peasant girl\, courageously saves the life of Daniel\, a wealthy boy from the far side of the island\, and soon finds herself captivated by love. Little does she know\, the island’s proud Gods wager on a timeless question: which is stronger\, love or death? The unwitting pawn in their bet\, Ti Moune’s life hangs in the balance as she follows her heart. \nThis energetic and radiant score is carried by a poignant tale of love\, sacrifice\, and the transformative power of storytelling.

SUMMARY:Grief Is The Thing With Feathers
DESCRIPTION:“…and the boys shouted I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU and their voice was the life and song of their mother. Unfinished. Beautiful. Everything.” \nTwo young boys fall back on their imaginations as they grapple with their mother’s sudden death. Their father has the soul of a poet but can only see a future of platitudes and loneliness. In the sadness\, like a gothic Mary Poppins\, comes Crow – trickster\, babysitter\, provocateur and healer. Did this odd bird come to a grieving family because they needed him? Or is he something they made?

SUMMARY:Carmen
DESCRIPTION:When Carmen meets Don José\, sparks fly. She won’t give up her freedom\, and Don José won’t give up his girl. Their smouldering passion sets the stage for tragedy\, but first\, Bizet gives us an adrenaline-pumping ride through lust\, jealousy and spectacle. \nThis visceral opera is thrilling from the moment the curtain rises and the orchestra races away with the overture. The music has it all: explosions of colour\, tender love songs\, sensual dances\, massive choruses\, and always\, underneath\, the beating pulse of danger.

SUMMARY:Juanita McLauchlan: Yilaa Minyaminyabal Maaru-ma-lda-y (Soon Everything Will Be Healing)
DESCRIPTION:Wagga Wagga–based Gamilaaray artist Juanita McLauchlan recognises the constellations above us\, and the everyday pillars of family and community\, as anchors we all have in common. \nIn her first state art museum exhibition\, McLauchlan presents an ambitious new body of work that draws upon the intimacy of personal belongings and body adornments. Using domestic fabrics such as vintage blankets as a base\, she works with leaves\, animal pelts and other organic materials to print\, eco-dye and embroider\, creating works that aren’t constrained to a flat wall mounting\, but are suspended in space. \nThe exhibition acknowledges the power of unity\, connectedness and cultural reclamation to soothe historical burdens and strengthen future optimism.

SUMMARY:Yolŋu Power: The Art of Yirrkala

SUMMARY:Art From Behind The Wire
DESCRIPTION:Art From Behind the Wire is a new exhibition featuring posters\, magazines and other printed material created by Second World War prisoners of war\, including Major John Champion de Crespigny. \nJohn was among thousands of Australians made prisoners by the Japanese in the early months of 1942. Captivity at the hands of the Japanese is remembered for merciless brutality however the initial experience in some camps was not harsh. To maintain the morale of the inmates\, Champion de Crespigny and others made posters and produced a magazine\, Mark Time\, during their time as POWs in Java. \nThis extraordinary collection offers a glimpse into the uncertainties of life as captives of a cruel and unpredictable enemy. \nThe exhibition also includes four sketches of the Japanese war crimes trials held on Morotai in December 1945\, drawn by Signalman Alex King\, a talented professional newspaper artist. King served with the Australian Corps of Signals and was able to observe some of the trials firsthand. \nThese unique original sketches capture the moment when Japanese soldiers attended makeshift courts sitting in the witness chair. They offer a rare insight into both the trial process and the individuals accused of war crimes.

SUMMARY:Cerith Wyn Evans .... in light of the visible
DESCRIPTION:Cerith Wyn Evans creates epic contemporary environments of light and sound in our major winter exhibition.\nConceived as if the audience were strolling through a garden\, the exhibition will invite visitors to meditate and contemplate their own passage through space and time. Monumental light sculptures will occupy the MCA’s double-height exhibition galleries\, including F=O=U=N=T=A=I=N (2020)\, an architectural wall of white neon three metres tall and ten metres wide which audiences are welcome to walk around and through.​ \nThe exhibition includes a significant selection of major works\, most of which have never been seen before in Australia. Highlights include Composition for 37 Flutes (2018)\, a sculpture in which 37 glass pipes ‘inhale’ and breathe sound into the gallery\, and the Neon Forms (After Noh) series\, large-scale three-dimensional ‘drawings in space’ using neon light. Inspired by the choreography of traditional Japanese Noh theatre\, this series maps the notation of Noh movements\, as gestures suspended in space. Energetic and fluid\, the works engage and transform the viewer’s perception.

SUMMARY:Eureka Day
DESCRIPTION:Screamingly funny and wildly topical\, Eureka Day lasers in on the poverty of modern discourse and our inability to listen to those with whom we disagree. \nIt’s 2019 and Eureka Day\, a private primary school in Berkeley\, California\, is a bastion of progressive ideals: representation\, gender identity\, social justice. The parents on the Executive Committee value inclusion above all else – until a mumps outbreak forces a rethink of the school’s liberal vaccine policy. As cases rise and polite debate descends into ideological warfare\, the school leadership are forced to confront one of our era’s defining questions: How do you build consensus\, when no one can agree on the facts?

SUMMARY:Warraba Weatherall: Shadow and Substance
DESCRIPTION:The first solo museum exhibition by Warraba Weatherall.\nKamilaroi artist Warraba Weatherall (b. 1987\, Toowoomba\, Queensland) considers how knowledge about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and culture is collected and conveyed by institutions. \nThroughout the 19th and into the 20th centuries\, Aboriginal peoples were subjected to widespread and systematic colonial policies of surveillance and scientific study. Academics\, anthropologists\, ethnologists\, government officials\, medical officers and pastoralists collected and stored information about Aboriginal peoples and cultures without their permission. Underpinned by scientific racism and ethnographic research\, Indigenous materials and objects were removed from Country as part of large-scale acquisition programs for museums\, private collections and universities. \nShadow and Substance\, Weatherall’s first solo museum exhibition\, features installation\, sculpture and video works which draw attention to the ethics of how Indigenous property\, cultural information and materials have been acquired and displayed. The artist considers the legacy of such practices and critiques narratives that continue to be found within archival and museum collections. \nBy foregrounding individual and community histories\, including his own family’s experience\, Weatherall highlights the gaps and biases of the colonial record\, as well as its ongoing influence. \nThe exhibition premieres a number of new artworks\, including Trace (2025)\, a major new co-commission between the MCA and the Hawai’i Triennial 2025\, and the two-channel video installation\, Dialectic (2025).
