  • On Revolution – in Palestine, Syria and beyond

    The Wheeler Centre, Melbourne

    What is a revolution, exactly? Where and how does it begin, and, perhaps more importantly, how does it end? This event is not the usual story of revolution: one of Kings and Generals, grand military or revolutionary acts, Che Guevara or Ahmed al-Sharaa style military fatigues and the storming of the capital. Rather, this event is about small “r” revolution and revolutionary acts done by “ordinary” people in extraordinary times.

  • Vigil: World Premiere Presented by Arts House April 22 – May 3

    Arts House North Melbourne Town Hall 521 Queensberry St, North Melbourne, VIC, Australia

    VIGIL is a polyvocal performance work made by visionary communities and creatives with something to ask of Australia: What lives matter? Do our lives matter? A crowded tram progresses along its journey. There is a passenger fleeing war and bombs. Another flees her partner. One believes she has found refuge from an oppressive regime. Another wants to walk a park at night and feel the grass under her feet. One observes the settlers on this tram, in all their diversity and indifference to Blak lives. Commuters crack jokes about wives, and mothers, and laugh. You are invited to take this journey to the end of the line.
