Jurrungu Ngan-ga [Straight Talk]
 

Challenging, joyful and deeply affecting, Merrigong Theatre Company presents Jurrungu Ngan-ga [Straight Talk] at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre from 29 to 31 August 2024.

Throbbing with sadness, anger, joy and resistance Jurrungu Ngan-ga [Straight Talk] is a powerful and provocative new dance, sound and installation work that interrogates Australia’s capacity to lock away and isolate that which we fear.

Jurrungu Ngan-ga [Straight Talk] confronts Australia’s shameful fixation with incarceration, connecting the outrageous levels of Indigenous imprisonment to the indefinite detaining of asylum seekers. Exceptionally talented dancers draw on cultural and community experience to move deftly between horror, truth-telling, and bodily resistance.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.
  • Heathers The Musical
    Heathers The Musical
    Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
