We acknowledge and pay our respects to the Elders, Ancestors and leaders of the Kulin Nations on whose unceded lands ILBIJERRI Theatre Company is based.
We extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, recognising their resilience and ongoing connection to land, water and culture, despite ongoing colonial interruption and genocide.
Always was, always will be, sacred Indigenous land.

A deadly show from the makers of CHOPPED LIVER
Ally lives up in the flats. Things aren’t the best right now but she has big plans. She just wants a better life for her baby.
Ally is ready to make a life changing decision. But does she have the strength to see it through? And is her community ready to support her?
If life wasn’t complicated enough, Ally is being filmed for an explosive new documentary. One things for sure - things are about to go viral.
