AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Dreaming Transportation is a contemporary music theatre work that reveals the little documented experience of colonised European women in Australia. Popular, folk, spoken and operatic voices combine with elements of contemporary performance and gallery exhibition to create rich vocal portraits of ordinary and extraordinary women.'
