Bloodstream
Bloodstream is the realisation of the third stage of a collaboration with Ruby Hunter and Archie Roach Ruby's Story and Kura Tungar: River Songs and Stories being the earlier stages. It brings together the parallel themes of stolen children and stolen water by drawing comparisons between the life of a stolen child (Ruby Hunter: born by a billabong, rubbed in warm ashes and held up to the moon in her grandfather's hands) with the degradation of the River Murray and the greater Murray Darling Basin catchment area. It is a multimedia, music theatre work which explores new ways of story telling by combining dramatised film segments and documentary footage with live music, songs and narrative.
Bloodstream will have its world premiere at the Barbican in London in November 2008
