20 Years: Bold. Black. Brilliant \u2013 Ilbijerri Theatre Company: A Retrospective.<\/strong><\/p>\n

20 Years: Bold. Black. Brilliant.<\/em> celebrates the 20th anniversary of the longest running Indigenous theatre company in Australia.\u201cIt all started with a group of Indigenous actors sitting around in a backyard saying \u2018we need our own theatre company to tell our stories our way\u2019,\u201d says Rachael Maza Long, Ilbijerri\u2019s Artistic Director. From this passion, a professional theatre company was born, whose plays explore a range of complex and controversial issues from a uniquely Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspective. This belief in \u201cthe power of black voices telling black stories\u201d still drives the company. The exhibition will feature elements of sets, props and photography from previous productions as well as a behind the scenes look at life in Ilbijerri.
