In April 2010, Urban Theatre Projects presented The Folding Wife at Blacktown Arts Centre.

A physical theatre performance that integrated poetic text and the transcendental visuals of Anino Shadowplay Collective, The Folding Wife unfolded the tales of three generations of Filipina women told through Grace, played by Valerie Berry.

The performance was written by Paschal Daantos Berry, directed by Deborah Pollard and went on to tour Australia with support from Performing Lines for Mobile States.

Anino Shadowplay Collective will return to Blacktown for Balik Bayan, 7 September – 2 November 2017, as part of the Bayanihan Philippines Art Project, in partnership with Art Gallery of NSW, Mosman Art Gallery, Auburn Peacock Gallery, Campbelltown Arts Centre and Museums and Galleries of NSW.

Did you know we are presenting a world premiere performance as part of Sydney Festival 2017?

Staged in a multi-level car park in Blacktown, Home Country is a theatrical triptych that explores place, identity, and what it means to be home.

With Aboriginal Elder Uncle Cheeky as your host, join us for a communal feast as we meet Ali from Algeria and neighbour Zaphora who clash over cultural values; sharp-witted Pita caught between the old and the new Greek culture and the Blacktown angel, restless in the afterlife.

We want as many locals as possible to experience Sydney Festival in our own backyard.

So if you live, work or study in the Blacktown area, you can get tickets to Home Country for just $20. That’s a saving of $39 off the regular ticket price!

There is a strictly limited number of local tickets.

To book, select your performance and tick the Blacktown Local ticket option.
