An exploration of the pivotal moments leading to So-Called Australia's transition from the Commonwealth to a Republic. This visionary project spotlights the ascent of Blakfullas, particularly Blak women, to the highest echelons of leadership, while prioritising the invaluable voices of Elders and youth. Delving into the process of decolonisation, the show reimagines how we function, celebrate, and connect with one another. Audience members are not merely spectators but active participants, leading discussions on crucial topics such as the incorporation of First Peoples' cultures and values, place naming, days of celebration, and collective self-reflection on our national identity. So What Now? confronts the narrative of Blak suffering, trauma, and colonial history. Instead offering a compelling vision of a future where Blak communities thrive alongside our collective societies.

Through immersive storytelling, audiences will gain insight into the interconnectedness of contemporary issues—from the climate crisis to systemic failures, racism, discrimination, and poverty—and the urgent need for an intersectional approach to address them. They are empowered to embrace decolonisation as a personal responsibility, weaving it intentionally into their lives. This transformative work isn't just about passive consumption; it's about active engagement. Audiences are invited to co-create the future they envision, fostering a space where imagination ignites change.
