NAIDOC Week 2024 will be held from Sunday 7 July to Sunday 14 July 2024.
During the week, we will perform our schools shows Boodjar Kaatijin and Sista Girl, at multiple venues and hold Brothers Wreck.
Boodjar Kaatijin by Ian Wilkes
Audiences will join Koorlbardi (Magpie), Weitj (Emu), Nyingarn (Echidna) and their koordah (friends) as they journey through Noongar Boodjar sharing stories of how the land was created. Boodjar Kaatijin kicks off the series of Kaatijin plays, specifically written for our younger audiences, that focus on the sharing of Noongar language and connecting young people with important cultural knowledge and stories.

Sista Girl by Alexis West and Elena Carapetis
Sista Girl is a brilliantly humorous, powerful, and heart-warming production that tackles issues as alive and important as they’ve ever been. Told via the story of two young women, strangers to each other but bonded by blood and grief.

Brothers Wreck by Jada Alberts
Brothers Wreck is a story of the hope, humour, and pathos of a tight-knit, loving family. It is a reminder that the ties of our loved ones can pull us through even the most shattering events.
“Alberts’ script grabs you by the heartstrings in the first few minutes and doesn’t let you go.” Polly Simons, Stage Noise
