Bran Nue Dae (expired event)

Set on the road trip of a lifetime with a runaway teenager, two hippies, a wily Uncle and a German priest. By the time you shake the red dust from your feet, you’ll know what it means to come home.

Jimmy Chi’s coming-of-age musical comedy Bran Nue Dae is an exuberant ride through 1960s Western Australia packed with humour and hope.

This trail-blazing Aboriginal musical celebrates family, forgiveness and reconciliation with a feel-good mash-up of rock-and-roll, gospel, country, blues and Broome saltwater music. Returning to the Perth Festival stage 30 years after its sparkling 1990 debut, this brand-new production is a story for all Australians.
