Scratch Night
Come together and be there at the beginning. Up Late at The Embassy – our late-night artist club is the place to be and the home for Scratch Night. Two nights, six performers, ten minutes, infinite ideas. In the spirit of Perth’s indie champions, The Blue Room Theatre, this night is primed for new ideas. Presenting unpolished pieces across all art-making genres, we have selected a group of Western Australian artists for this Festival first.
The unconventional, collaborative and conceptual merge in this late-night variety show. Scratch Night at Perth Festival is a community-minded and laidback performance that gives artists a spot to present and test new ideas, try out a new genre or trial a new project. Our joyful host and the performance advisor is Adriano Cappelletta.
