"Introducing Staging Asylum, Again, an anthology that exposes Australia’s mistreatment of people seeking refuge. Building on the success of its predecessor, this collection presents a timely and powerful exploration archive of artistic resistance to one of Australia’s most enduring and unjust policies. The anthology showcases a diverse range of plays that delve into different facets of seeking asylum. Tribunal, devised and performed by Kaz Therese, Joe Tan, Aunty Rhonda Dixon Grovenor, Mahdi Mohammadi, Katie Green, Paul Dwyer, and Jawad Yaqoubi, immerses readers in a truth and reconciliation commission, where newly arrived refugees and a First Nations Elder share poignant testimonies. Manus, created by Nazanin Sahamizadeh through interviews with eight Iranians–including Behrouz Boochani–who were detained in Australia’s offshore processing centre in Papua New Guinea, is a powerful piece of verbatim theatre performed in Farsi and translated for this publication. We All Know What’s Happening, conceived by Samara Hersch and Lara Thoms, involves seven young Australians devising a show about the incarceration of refugee children their age. Finally, The Audition, written by Patricia Cornelius, Sahra Davoudi, Tes Lyssiotis, Wahibe Moussa, Milad Norouzi, Melissa Reeves, and Christos Tsiolkas, is a meta theatrical play that draws parallels between an actor’s audition and an asylum seeker’s application for protection. The volume also includes three one-act plays showcased at the 2015 Asylum festival. Noëlle Janaczewska’s Going for Gold, Tania Cañas’ Three Angry Australians, and Georgia Symon’s A Puppet Show for All Ages." -- Back cover.
