The 7 Stages of Grieving
By Wesley Enoch and Deborah Mailman
Presented by Brown's Mart
Directed by Jada Alberts
3-18 March
“Powerful, demanding and culturally profound”
A woman stands alone on stage. Over one gripping hour, she traces seven phases of Aboriginal history - Dreaming, Invasion, Genocide, Protection, Assimilation, Self- Determination, and Reconciliation. A beloved Australian theatre work by two celebrated Indigenous storytellers.
The 7 Stages of Grieving is a vibrant and insightful account of what it means to be an Aboriginal woman in contemporary Australia. The 7 Stages of Grieving is a potent expression of strength and survival, as well as humour and joy. It’s an ode to the power of storytelling.
The 7 Stages of Grieving is part of our Education Program supported by Randazzo Properties
