HYBYCOZO Launch Party

You’re invited to the launch party for HYBYCOZO’s Deep Thought installation in the Bunjil Place Plaza on Friday 28 June from 5.00 pm – 7.00 pm.

Be among the first to marvel at HYBYCOZO's five larger-than-life geometric sculptures, brought to life through high-level metal fabrication and architectural LED lighting.

This incredible installation is part of the City of Casey's Winter Arts Festival and will be on display from Friday 28 June to Sunday 28 July 2024.

The launch party will be packed with entertainment to complement the installation:

• Live, original music by Dave Prideaux (Sunderland Studios), curated specifically for HYBYCOZO, creating a truly immersive soundscape.
• Mesmerising performances by dancers in post-apocalyptic attire by J Smith Productions. They'll bring fun and movement to the stark futuristic landscape, creating unforgettable photo opportunities.
• A range of delicious food options to tantalise your taste buds and keep you warm: hot soup and crusty bread rolls, hot dogs and chips, and delicious coffee and cake from the Bunjil Place cafe.
• Live performances by local artists – Zachary Leo and Elaura Music
• Free Henna Art by Fathiah Raihan

Don't miss out on this unique experience! Mark your calendars, grab your friends and family, and join us for an unforgettable evening.

LIVE PERFORMANCES:

ELAURA [eh-la-oo-rah]

Chilean blooded and Australian born, neo-soul artist ELAURA’s voice surfs through the chatter of the world and invites you to delight in life as the rollercoaster that it is. Embodying a fusion of her great grandmother’s names ‘Emilia’ & ‘Laura’, ELAURA leaves her legacy of love on every stage she sets foot on. “I want my audiences to come exactly as they are and by the end of the show, be reminded that exactly as they are, is enough in that moment and the moments to come.” 

“Her work is of a seminal kind that tells of the ever changing mindset and ideals of the modern young woman. Moreso, she colours this broad perspective with the nuances of her Chilean Heritage and the search for connection and belonging that her first generation upbringing illicits." - Jerry Agbinya (Artist, Radio host and Audio Content Producer at Triple J)
 

ZACHARY LEO

Hailing from Naarm/Melbourne, Zachary Leo is a bold fusion of funk/rock and modern pop with a delectably stylish result, taking cues from the likes of Prince, Funkadelic, Stevie Wonder and Tame Impala. The 25-year-old uses his songs to speak openly about his mental health issues as well as other topics like love and heartbreak.

"Zachary Leo is one of those artists who is recognizable straight away. That's a unique sound, undeniably funky and catchy."
Jess Perkins - Triple J (AUS)
