A lack of empathy, a lack of meaning, and of love and of connectedness is one of the great challenges for 21st Century humanity (and the planet they live on).

Come see Ballarat National Theatre perform a dramatic reading of thematically connected short plays, songs, character monologues and interludes written by Ballarat local Barry Kay and directed by Louise Permezel.

In partnership with the Ballaarat Mechanics Institute.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
