A powerful exploration of death and mourning rituals in First Peoples communities. Presented by Moogahlin Performing Arts with Blacktown Arts for Sydney Festival.
A powerful installation and performance work that illuminates the rituals of death and mourning in New South Wales and Victorian First Peoples communities.
Set on-site at an historic church and cemetery, the work explores the mourning processes of First Nations women through memory, surrogation, lore, customs, the secular, the sacred, and myth.
Key artists Lily Shearer, Liza-Mare Syron, Andrea James, Aroha Groves, and Katie Leslie occupy St Bartholomew’s Church and Cemetery in Prospect – Darug country – to create an intimate, enlightening and moving experience.
