HART Presented by She Said Theatre "I was always like, like a magnet with my Dad, like everywhere he went I was right next to him. Tucked under his arm, or if I knew he was going I'd hide in the back of the car and wait for him to drive off and then pop up, when he was halfway there or something. He never got rid of me..." Between the years 1910–1970, an unknown number of Indigenous Australian children were forcibly removed from their families. Parents driven mad, grandparents heartbroken, siblings torn apart, language lost, and culture stripped away. Using testimonials from survivors of the Stolen Generations, Melbourne Fringe Festival award winner and proud Noongar man Ian Michael invites you to listen in on the silenced stories of his country. "Brave and quietly devastating... Moving theatre that handles some emotionally harrowing material with dignity and grace." — The Age (Australia) "Beautiful, heartbreaking and liberating storytelling." — AussieTheatre.com WHEN 2-6 February 6:30pm (55 mins) WHERE Basement Theatre (The Studio) Lower Greys Ave Auckland City BOOK Full $18; Concession $15; Cheap Wednesday $15/$17 Phone: (09) 361 1000 Online: https://www.iticket.co.nz/events/2016/feb/hart http://www.basementtheatre.co.nz/whats-on/hart/ Concept & Performed by Ian Michael Text by Ian Michael and Seanna van Helten Directed by Penny Harpham Produced by Anna Kennedy Technical Management & Lighting Design by Shannah McDonald Composition & Sound Design by Raya Slavin Set & Costume Design by Chloe Greaves AV Design by Michael Carmody Presented by She Said Theatre www.shesaidtheatre.com Supported by MAYSAR, Ilbijerri Theatre, Footscray Community Arts Centre and Auspicious Arts For more information about the Stolen Generations visit: www.stolengenerationstestimonies.com
