OUR BLOOD RUNS IN THE STREET

About the show

In 2019, the NSW Parliament reopened the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into Gay and Transgender hate crimes between 1970 and 2010. Shane Anthony and his ensemble took as their starting point interviews with real Australians affected by these hate crimes. Drawing on the words of victims' family members, witnesses, historians, police officers, journalists and researchers, they created a searing and unapologetic look at how cultural prejudice and bias contributed to violence against gay and transgender people in Australia. Blending spoken word and physical theatre in a powerful cry of rage and an ode to human resilience.
