#IntimatelyEpic is a series of installations scattered across North Melbourne. Everyday acts are transformed into epic moments via film, images, music and sound from the edge of opera. Find #IntimatelyEpic in a range of businesses and venues.

Listen     Hear drifts of an opera as you buy a coffee
Look     See a haunting image as you walk past a window at night
Refresh     Encounter unexpected moments that invite you to pause, reflect
Activate       Experience your surroundings in a new way
