The Return is a play about the theft of First Nation Australian bodily remains and culture
in the past, and the importance of returning and repatriating cultural artefacts and
Indigenous bodily remains to their spiritual home in Australia. Creators of The Return,
including cultural custodian and director Jason Tamiru, writer John Harvey, and codirector
Matthew Lutton, discuss the culture and ceremony of Indigenous Australians
that is the foundation of the play, the five-year writing and research process that was
undertaken, and how the story was brought to life onstage through a collaboration with a
major theatre company in Australia. Presentations will feature music, image, storytelling,
and discussion.
