Gunawarra Re-Creation

By Isobel Morphy-Walsh
Directed by Andrea James

Step into a powerful narrative of culture, memory, and healing with this evocative new theatre production from ILBIJERRI Theatre Company. 🎭

Murrun returns to the sacred watering hole, the same one that Aunty Aggie once shared with her. Here, the past and present intertwine as she encounters her old friend Gunawarra, the Black Swan. Together, they embark on a journey of cultural continuity, creation, and the tales of Blak women’s healing. 🌿

Set on Taun Wurrung country, this contemporary play by Taun Wurrung (Taungurung) writer Isobel Morphy-Walsh draws inspiration from the traditional Kulin story of Gunawarra and the origin of black swan feathers. Experience the strength, survival, and healing of Blak women in this profoundly emotive presentation.

Following a critically acclaimed premiere at Melbourne Theatre Company, join us at QPAC as part of its 2026 national tour to witness this remarkable production.

Gunawarra Re-Creation is a part of Clancestry.
