Welcome to a tropical island full of palm trees, phosphate mines, coconut water and kids. Set against a backdrop of handmade costumes and colonialism, this is an absurd, true story about Leonardo da Vinci, seagull shit, and Australia’s ongoing relationship with Nauru.
Part school musical, part history lesson and part political probe, We All Know What’s Happening sees people too young to vote reveal powerful truths about childhood, human rights, privilege and social change.
Made in collaboration with seven child activists, who perform this deeply affecting theatrical intervention into the Australian zeitgeist, We All Know What’s Happening brings us right up to the present day and into the future. As we move into the final sitting of the current Australian parliament, do not miss this important and timely show for adults and kids alike.
“Passionate and political, affecting and entertaining, We All Know What’s Happening throws down the gauntlet to the adults in the audience” The Age
Winner, Best production, Contemporary and Experimental Performance, 2018 Green Room Awards
