About
Agnese Perri (they/them) is an emerging multidisciplinary theatre maker and producer from Hong Kong, Italy, and Naarm/Melbourne. With a BFA in Theatre from the Victorian College of the Arts, their interest lies in contemporary and experimental theatre, and performance art.
With a strong aesthetic vision, Agnese is driven towards theatre with intricate, and often whimsical, creative worlds. They frequently work around child-like aesthetics with adult themes, pulled by their curiosity around nostalgia. They have a reflective and play based practice, exploring culture/cross-cultural experiences, isolation/connection, and non-human entities/worlds. As a multidisciplinary artist they work with poetry, video, object theatre, physical theatre, and performance. They are currently deepening their practice in puppetry and mask.
As a producer Agnese is passionate about facilitating the development and presentation of original contemporary and experimental performance works. Influenced by their cross-cultural background, they are currently focused on building their practice in tour producing, functioning as a bridge between artists, their work, and international engagement.
