'‘she was behaving like a slut…‘
'Set in a courtroom, and oscillating between now and 1981, Project Xan examines the events of one dark night that changed a young girl’s life forever.
'With Xan Fraser’s story at its heart, this riveting work interrogates the perilous injustices behind rape culture and victim blaming.
'Featuring Xan herself on stage, Project Xan is a powerful performance documentary: a potent mosaic of live action, courtroom transcript, news articles, vox-pop and personal testimony, all set to a pulsating score.' (Publication summary)
Project Xan has been supported by LOFT, an initiative of The Blue Room Theatre, and by the Government of Western Australian through the Department of Culture and the Arts. Performed at the Blue Room Theatre, Perth Business Centre : 8-19 November 2016.
