The Dark Matter Of Usual

One of Australia’s most captivating actors, Margaret J Harvey, returns to the stage for the first time in more than a decade with this visually striking solo performance, presented by State Theatre Company South Australia in association with Adelaide Festival.

Grounded in the living cosmologies of Saibai Island, the work follows a woman as she is drawn into a vast realm where memory, spirit and the cosmos intertwine. Through performance, sound, movement and digital imagery, Harvey brings to life an ancient story gifted to her by senior Ait Koedal knowledge holders.

The production runs for 70 minutes with no interval and is suitable for ages 15 and over. Audio described performances are available, and wheelchair accessible seating can be arranged by contacting the box office.
