31 Aug — 7 Sep
Meet Your Maker
Presented by Brisbane Festival, Blak Social and Brisbane Powerhouse
Welcome to the Land Back Era
A split second before the biggest show of her career, an Indigenous pop artist goes missing. Wrestling with every choice she’s ever made, our icon traverses deep time to meet her makers in an attempt to discover the truth.
Set in the fictional universe of Queen’s City this story re-imagines a world where Indigenous communities were given their land back. In another time, we get to see what might happen if we had gone down a different path, if Indigenous pop culture was the norm and not the token.
A high-octane, pop-fuelled debut premiere from Blak Social’s Alethea Beetson (Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi and Wiradjuri). Meet Your Maker is not based on a true story… but it is based on a true feeling.
A one-woman tour de force performance that traverses live music, video, and monologue forms. Featuring contributions from some of this continents most exciting First Nations artists including Moss, Mark Munk Ross, Loki Liddle, Sue Ray, Reece Bowden, Katina Olsen and more.
