1 2 SEETHrough See Through; Seeth Rough Colin Kinchela , Gavin Walters , 2014 single work drama

'Sean, an Aboriginal man, and Jorvn, a white man, have shared a bond written in the stars and in blood since they were children.

'As they grow up, the young men test the boundaries of their maturity and mortality through dangerous games and aspirations to see the world beyond their small town. Within the sacred men’s space of the barber shop, manhood is attained through an age-old and distinctly masculine ritual built on complete trust and terrifying intimacy.

'Devised by Colin Kinchela and Gavin Walters, themselves a blackfella and whitefella collaboration, SEETHrough is a story that spans two cultures and investigates those divides.

'Containing hypnotic videography and soundscapes, it is an enveloping take on identity, sexuality, bravado, loss and longing.' (Production summary)
1 1 Bully Beef Stew Bjorn Stewart , Colin Kinchela , Sonny Dallas Law , 2011 single work drama 'A fearless theatrical exploration of Aboriginal manhood. A performance that promises to feed your heart and soul. At times achingly beautiful - at others, raw and exposed - these men bring to the stage a resounding spirit, a dreaming - an initiation of sorts.' (Source: Australian Stage website)
