Synopsis
The 7 Stages of Grieving continues to ask vital and stirring questions of the way we tell stories and how we remember
the past.
Told by a single compelling narrator, this play weaves together cultural knowledge, memories, and personal experiences to share a powerful story of Aboriginal Australia.
A collection of vignettes that examines the timelessness of the Dreaming, the horrors of invasion, the trials of reconciliation and police brutality, as well as the importance of kinship, speaking truth to power and the joy of telling your story your way.
This production is an engaging, moving and ultimately empowering recognition of the loss of identity and Country and the will to fight back.
Education
This season takes place during NAIDOC week with matinee performances for community and school groups.
