An informative, inspiring night for anyone interested in theatre, culture or politics.

Presented by Vitalstatistix in association with Urban Theatre Projects

Director: Roslyn Oades

Cast: Mohammed Ahmed, Roderick Byrnes and Katia Molino

Presentation

Part lecture, part performance, director Roslyn Oades revisits the making of Stories of Love & Hate, a unique headphone-verbatim performance based on a two-year interview process with people directly affected by the infamous December 2005 Cronulla Riots. Produced by Urban Theatre Projects (NSW) in 2008 and touring again in 2011,Stories of Love & Hate considers the idea of hate as a consequence of feeling the things we love are under threat. The result is a collection of interlinking personal stories told with affection, integrity and humour.

This presentation explores how and why theatre-makers represent real Australian stories. Roslyn will be joined by three of the original cast members, Mohammed Ahmed, Roderick Byrnes and Katia Molino, who will perform several excerpts from the show. An informative, inspiring night for anyone interested in theatre, culture or politics; and an alternative way to mark Australia/Survival Day without the flag waving.
