Angeline Penrith is a Wiradjuri and Yuin actor and storyteller who created Redfern Renaissance.
Redfern Renaissance is a result of the gentrification in Redfern and the storytellers that created the National Black Theatre which operated from 1972 to 1977.
Aboriginal people are the oldest storytellers in the world, well what does that mean in the modern context? We still doing it.
Two classic productions make up the heart of the program: The Cake Man by Robert Merritt and Here Comes the N****r by Gerry Bostock. Angeline Penrith's work incorporates these performances, as well as a series of workshops and discussion panels.
Redfern Renaissance will be running at Belvoir St Theatre until the 25th January 2025.
