Monet’s Garden at the NGV
‘“My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece.” Monet’s Garden is a stunning exhibition devoted to Claude Monet’s iconic garden at Giverny. Renowned as the ‘father of French Impressionism’, Monet was inspired by his direct experiences of nature, culminating in the ravishing depictions of his lily and flower gardens in the rural property at Giverny, northern France, that became his lifelong obsession. Step into the extraordinary this winter for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see these masterpieces in Australia, exclusive to Melbourne.’

Menagerie by DANIEL SCHLUSSER ENSEMBLE for the NEON Independent Theatre Festival
If Monday’s cheap flick left you with a taste for more, then why not head down to catch a live performance by a stunning cast. Although it may not be as economical as Monday, it’s sure to leave you with a spattering of culture that’s priceless.
‘In a tiny derelict flat, a voracious mother, her repressed daughter and flamboyant poet son live in squalor, nourished only by competitive manoeuvring and nostalgic fantasies. You recognise this family. They have the same lost dreams and drowned sorrows as your neighbour, uncle, stepbrother. They are caged animals, wild at heart, with the American Dream – capitalism and hedonism – oozing through the seams of their imaginative worlds.
Contains strong coarse language, atmospherics, strobe effect, simulated violence, use of AK 47 rifles, and scenes depicting violence.’
