SUMMARY:Ruins
DESCRIPTION:What is our heart’s journey when our world is split in two?\nGrief-stricken by her late father’s sudden death\, Amelia Alyssa embarks on a journey to her ancestral homeland\, Lebanon. She bears witness to the ancient Baalbek ruins of the Beqaa Valley while lodging nearby at the Palmyra Hotel\, a time capsule of a flourishing yesteryear. \nAn exploration of migration and sacrifice brings Amelia face to face with the question “where is home”? Past and present collide as Amelia enters the land of the dead where a chorus of shapeshifting wanderers evoke a descent into an archaeological underworld with mythic overtones.

SUMMARY:Anne Being Frank
DESCRIPTION:This multi-award-winning play is a complete reimagining of the iconic Anne Frank story. \nIt asks us to consider what “could have been” and moves between three worlds – the secret annex where Anne’s family are in hiding; Bergen Belsen where\, sick and starving\, she lives out her final days; and an unfulfilled future in a swanky New York publishing house where we meet the bright\, debut author who with devastating new insight is rewriting her manuscript for publication. Her editor dearly wishes to maintain the innocence of the original\, but Anne is on a quest to tell the truth.

SUMMARY:Bright Star
DESCRIPTION:“The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore…”\nThe NSW premiere of the ingenious and inspiring musical by the superb Steve Martin and Edie Brickell. Drawn from a true story and featuring a Tony-nominated score\, Bright Star tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ‘40s. \nWhen literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II\, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection\, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past\, and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. \nWith stunning melodies\, gorgeous actor-centric theatricality and powerfully moving characters\, the story is an evocative tapestry of deep emotion. An uplifting journey\, Bright Star is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.

Little does she know\, the island’s proud Gods wager on a timeless question: which is stronger\, love or death? The unwitting pawn in their bet\, Ti Moune’s life hangs in the balance as she follows her heart. \nThis energetic and radiant score is carried by a poignant tale of love\, sacrifice\, and the transformative power of storytelling.

SUMMARY:Janet Dawson: Faraway\, So Close
DESCRIPTION:Janet Dawson (born 1935) is one of Australia’s pre-eminent artists. Throughout a distinguished career spanning over seven decades of practice\, she remains an artist who has refused to be bound by rules. \nA pioneer of both abstraction and realism in Australian art\, Dawson sees no contradiction in working between diverse stylistic and aesthetic realms. Consistent to her art is a sense of curiosity: she is constantly interested in material existence and the state of the natural world. \nA pioneer of both abstraction and realism in Australian art\, Dawson sees no contradiction in working between diverse stylistic and aesthetic realms.

SUMMARY:Circle Mirror Transformation
DESCRIPTION:In a modest\, small-town community hall\, five people – mostly strangers – come together to take part in an amateur acting class. The class is run by Marty (Gibney)\, a well-meaning\, passionate and provocative teacher who leads the group in a series of drama games. She intends to get them in touch with their inner selves and let their imaginations run free. But as the exercises build in intensity and their lives become further intertwined\, real-life drama begins to seep into the curriculum.

SUMMARY:Carmen
DESCRIPTION:When Carmen meets Don José\, sparks fly. She won’t give up her freedom\, and Don José won’t give up his girl. Their smouldering passion sets the stage for tragedy\, but first\, Bizet gives us an adrenaline-pumping ride through lust\, jealousy and spectacle. \nThis visceral opera is thrilling from the moment the curtain rises and the orchestra races away with the overture. The music has it all: explosions of colour\, tender love songs\, sensual dances\, massive choruses\, and always\, underneath\, the beating pulse of danger.

SUMMARY:Juanita McLauchlan: Yilaa Minyaminyabal Maaru-ma-lda-y (Soon Everything Will Be Healing)
DESCRIPTION:Wagga Wagga–based Gamilaaray artist Juanita McLauchlan recognises the constellations above us\, and the everyday pillars of family and community\, as anchors we all have in common. \nIn her first state art museum exhibition\, McLauchlan presents an ambitious new body of work that draws upon the intimacy of personal belongings and body adornments. Using domestic fabrics such as vintage blankets as a base\, she works with leaves\, animal pelts and other organic materials to print\, eco-dye and embroider\, creating works that aren’t constrained to a flat wall mounting\, but are suspended in space. \nThe exhibition acknowledges the power of unity\, connectedness and cultural reclamation to soothe historical burdens and strengthen future optimism.

SUMMARY:Yolŋu Power: The Art of Yirrkala
