Meanwhile, Season 2023 saw The Visitors, a new work from composer and Dhurag man, Christopher Sainsbury and librettist and Muruwari woman, Jane Harrison, on the first days of colonisation from a First Nation perspective.
We believe the performing arts has an on-going commitment to strive to recognise and reflect First Nations stories and perspectives in the work we see.
