Description Unashamedly big, bold and brash, Tower of Light reveals a world worshipping at the altar of gaming culture. Melbourne Workers Theatre takes its audience on an exhilarating journey where to win and to win at all costs has become the only motivation to keep on living.
Brimming with satire, farce and the grotesque, Tower of Light takes a blowtorch to the economic madness underpinning contemporary culture. It features an electrifying cast of performers, community groups, live music, physical theatre, visual media and large scale design.
