Sydney Writers' Festival 2010

Celebrate the International Year of Astronomy with Auburn Poets and Writers Group. This multilingual performance explores the sky as an inclusive space, and probes into diverse parts of the planet they experience differently beneath one sky.

Since 2006, the APWG has offered SWF audiences a theatrical and culturally rich experience. This year the group will perform a collaborative work that looks at each of their relationships with the universe, the day and night sky, and where they search for answers to life’s questions.

Auburn, a suburb on the rise and dominated by the energies of arrival and change is growing at a dizzying rate. The languages of this village are a mix of Arabic, Farsi, Turkish, Cantonese and English and many more. This year the performance will evoke a sense of wonder and discovery and serve as a powerful expression of the human intellect.
