A Lost Waif, a Wandering Entertainer, a King by the River… the spirits of Melbourne must find the forgotten and impossible Gods who walk the streets as the sun is setting.

Headlining at Pop Up Playground’s 2014 Fresh Air Festival was this brand new game designed and presented by international guest artists Serious Business from the UK. In their game, Spirits Walk, players enter the spirit world and make new spirits of their own through a series of rituals and a masked procession after sunset.

The Fresh Air Festival was presented by Pop Up Playground and Federation Square.
