MONSTEEN
A fictional supernatural high school for teenagers to build their own monstrous alter egos — immersive, participatory theatre for the cosplay and LARP generation.

Created by contemporary performance company Infinity and led by Artistic Director Jackson Castiglione, Monsteen transforms a dedicated youth space into a fictional supernatural high school where participants aged 13–17 create their own teenaged-monster characters. Drawing on cosplay, gaming and live action roleplay culture, and developed through Arts Centre Melbourne’s PLAY program, it made its premiere presentation at RISING 2026.
