The Audition
A moving insight into the protocols and powers that permit or deny entry into our country and to our stages, The Audition examines the parallels between actors auditioning for work and refugees seeking asylum in Australia.
A cohesive, multi-authored work by Iranian asylum-seeking artists and immigrants and acclaimed Australian playwrights, The Audition honours those whose lives are spent awaiting entry.
Contrasting yet cohesive, transformation of character, time and place hauntingly meld with metatheatre, verbatim, poetry and song. The fourth wall and actor-audience relationship shifts throughout the performance.
