AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Combining performance, music, film and installation to create something never experienced anywhere before, "Doku Rai" was conceived during the filming of Balibo. The companies took up residence during 2012 in an abandoned colonial hotel on a remote island off Timor-Leste where each artist has become author, critic and performer drawing on shared narratives that cross cultures as well as their own stories and references. "Doku Rai" is born of an improbable union of artists, drawn together by their need to eat, sleep and work together with barest of materials - resulting in an intense and consuming production.'
