Attract/Repel is a raw, beautiful and idiosyncratic investigation into racial identification, discrimination, and the darkness and light inherent in Australia's many-cultured society. It takes an unflinching look beneath the surface at who we are, how we behave, and why we are still being racist.
In collaboration with four of the country’s most exciting actor/theatre makers, Ming-Zhu Hii goes beyond the pale, averts the politically-correct, and asks the questions we’ve all been too scared of for far too long.
Attract/Repel is a remarkably rich and unmissable new work from The Melbourne Town Players, creators of the critically acclaimed Sandwiches.
“We are living in a period of extreme racial unrest, cultural intolerance, and racially motivated violence, while the population of our country has never been more diverse.” - Ming-Zhu Hii
