Australia Theatre

My Lovers' Bones

Brown Cab Productions

WORLD PREMIERE

PRESENTED BY FOOTSCRAY COMMUNITY ARTS CENTRE IN ASSOCIATION WITH MELBOURNE FESTIVAL

DIRECTED BY MARGARET HARVEY
PERFORMED BY KIRK PAGE

An Aboriginal man stumbles down a Melbourne laneway, pursued by an ancient, malevolent force.

As he runs, he can feel the creature’s eyes burning through him – but is he fleeing from the fiend itself, or from the monster he fears he might become?

A modern-day reimagining of the bunyip legend, My Lovers’ Bones is a spine-chilling new theatrical work from acclaimed Indigenous storytellers Brown Cab Productions. A fusion of theatre, poetry, physical movement, digital projection and visceral soundscape, My Lovers’ Bones offers a hauntingly beautiful take on a myth both fearsome and misunderstood – the hunter of those who would forget the laws of the land.
