The top shows to see at Asia TOPA 2020
The second Asia-Pacific Triennial of Performing Arts is taking over Melbourne from January to March
The Asia TOPA festival is a massive multi-venue festival of theatre, visual arts, dance and discussions from all over the Asia Pacific. It's returning for its second year in 2020 with a bigger and more provocative line-up of works taking place across the city. The best thing about Asia TOPA is the way it brings artists together from the region. In many instances, those artists are teamed up with some of Australia's leading performance-makers, who are creating something new and special for the festival.
