BLAK BOX: Barangaroo’s Past, Present and Future

Urban Theatre Projects presents the inaugural BLAK BOX project, a state-of-the-art sound pavilion designed by architect Kevin O’Brien, on show at Barangaroo Reserve, Sydney, from 2 to 24 June.

A stream of Aboriginal voices will immerse audiences in a ‘deep listening’ experience; a concept based on stories, silences and the spaces in between. Titled ‘humechochorus’ (hum echo chorus) the work is a composition of oral histories, informal interviews and spoken word performances sharing stories of the Barangaroo site before colonisation, once a place for fishing and hunting, with reflections on the complexities of urban development, memory of place and historical truths.

BLAK BOX offers a unique platform for the exploration of sound and language from a First Peoples perspective.
