Lazarus

Taken from his mother. Returned at fifteen. Became a leader, a fighter, an Elder; a voice for those who were silenced.

LAZARUS is the extraordinary true story of Larry Walsh (Taungurung Elder, activist and storyteller) brought to life in a heartfelt and vital story that speaks to the soul of this country.

Woven from interviews with Larry himself, this dynamic production moves through decades of pain and triumph, laughter and resistance, as one man rises from the ashes of injustice to reclaim his story and his spirit.

Rich with live music, evocative imagery and over 20 characters, and performed by an exceptional cast, LAZARUS is a powerful celebration of culture, resilience and the unbreakable ties between mother and child, community and Country.
