Coranderrk – Limited Sydney Season


Coranderrk, a definitive story from our neglected Indigenous history, will be presented at Riverside Theatres in Parramatta for two shows only on June 28 – the only Sydney dates of the landmark 2017 tour.
Featuring an all-Indigenous cast, this play is inspired by transcripts of the 1881 Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry where the the men and women of the Coranderrk Aboriginal Reserve went head-to-head with the Aboriginal Protection Board. Their goal was both simple and revolutionary: to be allowed to continue the brilliant experiment in self-determination they had pioneered for themselves on the scrap of country left to them.Created by ILBIJERRI Theatre Company and Belvoir, Coranderrk premiered to critical acclaim at Belvoir in 2013 and a sell-out Melbourne season in 2014, and returns re-written and remounted for a 2017 national tour.The production is both great theatre and great history. It revives the voices of all those, black and white, who fought for a better pact between the country's oldest and newest inhabitants.
