What's On

Arawarra
 

A freedom fighter, a Ngandah, a protector and a First Nations leader at the time of colonisation.

The story of Arawarra was erased from the history books, dwarfed by the arrival and impact of Alexander Berry, who changed the Shoalhaven landscape forever. Told with courage, tenderness and humanity, Arawarra unearths the hidden story of this country, and celebrates one of the many heroes on the wrong side of history.

Created in collaboration between Dharawal language teacher, Jake Māra, and director Lincoln Smith, Arawarra is a story of local and national significance that we need to reckon with as a nation to understand the truth of where we have come from and forge a path forward together.

    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.

    There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
