SheppARTon Festival Interpretation – ‘Be Consumed’

A trifle is a matter of carful construction. It is a classic dish made with tradition, laden with nostalgia and a dessert of indulgence.

The Shepparton Festival Trifle is made up of 7 layers, each layer of produce representing the ingredients of the festival.

  1. Jelly – Gathering
  2. Cake – Performance
  3. Fruit – Music
  4. Custard – Visual Art
  5. Fruit – Film
  6. Custard – Comedy
  7. Cream and toppings – Friends

The layers also represent the landscape, community, artists, venues, process, production and design that combine to create the festival.

One of life’s great pleasures is scraping back a section of the cream and piercing the custard with a spoon and discovering all the layers of decadence.

Explore the layers and ‘Be Consumed’ by artists, venue, spaces and experiences.
