the failed states Melbourne The Failed States is a creative project based in an aged care facility in the leafy suburb of Wantirna, Melbourne Australia. Initially a recreational outlet, allowing residents to express themselves through music, poetry and sitting still, The Failed States has since taken on a life of it own. Anguished songs about other residents' grandchildren being too loud at the table tennis table, or jeremiads of lukewarm, semi-set puddings were gradually replaced by powerful pieces about climate change, urban decay, relationship breakdown and missing dentures. There are no permanent members of The Failed States, we live on, as age, petty rivalries, and forgetfulness takes us all. The Failed States tries to perform in the common room on the second Tuesday of every month, after lunch.
