Healing Scars

Healing Scars, presented by Moogahlin Performing Arts, is a powerful new performance by Yuwalaaraay composer and performer Warren Mason, tracing the intergenerational journey of First Peoples healing from injustice.

Blending the natural sounds of Country, the haunting tones of Mason’s guitar, spoken word in multiple languages and the voices of Elders, Healing Scars creates a rich, immersive soundscape interwoven with choreography by Jasmine Gulash (Gubbi Gubbi) and Jo Clancy (Wiradjuri), tracing stories that connect past and present.

Raw, moving and deeply human, Healing Scars invites audiences into a cathartic journey of truth, healing and resilience – an unmissable work that honours survival, strength and the power of First Peoples storytelling.

Healing Scars was first developed during Yellamundie Festival 2023.

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

Even the instruments are custom-cool, bare down to the bones like the skeletal relics of orchestras of the underworld.
The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.

Mary said what she said | 2026 Adelaide Festival
