AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Performed against the backdrop of industrial Port Kembla, The Sirens' Return is a moving and evocative new music theatre work that reflects the spirit of place from the perspective of the women who embody it.

Drawing on oral histories collected from women living across different eras of the steel town, as well as First Nations and western mermaid mythology, The Sirens' Return honours the diversity of women's experiences through the emotional power of song.'
