Walking Into the Bigness
Take a life lesson from writer, singer, filmmaker, Aboriginal activist and master storyteller Richard Frankland.
Overview
Walking into the Bigness celebrates many stories inspired by the life of writer, singer, filmmaker and Aboriginal activist Richard Frankland. From humble (although gruesome) beginnings as a child working in an abattoir to life as a soldier, a fisherman and an officer for the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, the production follows Frankland's experiences through storytelling and song.
Co-directed by Wayne Blair (The Sapphires, Redfern Now) and Chris Mead and featuring a small stellar cast (Tammy Anderson, Paul Ashcroft, Luisa Hastings Edge, Rarriwuy Hick and Tiriki Onus), Walking into the Bigness is an intimate exploration of knowledge, adolescence, growth and the unknown. With music performed by Frankland himself, the production is an "intimate, emotive and humorous work that will take you through the undulating terrain of a life".
