NAIDOC WEEK EXCURSIONYirra Yaakin Theatre Company is excited to present The 7 Stages of Grieving — a moving and thought-provoking production exploring grief, cultural identity, and reconciliation through the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
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.
On its premiere in 1995, this play was a radical act of Aboriginal theatre-making. Thirty years later Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company will present a brand-new production of The 7 Stages of Grieving for WA audiences for the first time.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised this performance contains the names and voices of people who have passed away.
