'Through the language of dance, song, storytelling and imagery, renowned Aboriginal theatre and dance practitioners have collaborated to develop a powerful new work – Three Brothers.
'The poignancy of this story rests in the parallel of a fictional Aboriginal family to the ancestral ‘Three Brothers’ creation story of the Bundjalung people. Three Brothers glimpses into the lives of the three characters and tackles notions around death, family, immortality and the struggles of contemporary life. It is a story of healing old wounds, addressing truths and sharing deep secrets in a new century.' (Production summary)
