Blak in the Room brings together three short works that show off the range and scope of First Nations dramaturgies.
Ilbijerri Theatre Company has been around for more than 30 years and the MTC for a few decades longer than that, but of course First Peoples have told stories for many thousands of years. European drama – which has been around since the Ancient Greeks – is a newcomer in comparison.
The legend is elegantly layered into a family history of three generations of women. Tormented by an unspeakable story, Murrun wants to reconnect with her mother on country, as her recently deceased Aunt Aggie instructed. The hubbub is stopping Dave from passing in peace, so he haunts them all in an uproarious, silly, and slightly sexy farce that pokes fun at every piety and folly and insecurity.Most Australian comedy has an irreverent streak, but Blak comedy is next level. Dave-from-beyond-the-grave reconciles all parties to respecting the dead through torturing his loved ones with outlandish low humour until they learn to respect one another.
