Teachers of Indonesian may be interested in an upcoming production being held at the Riverside Theatre, Parramatta, in 2017. The Age of Bones (Jaman Belulang) is an Australian-Indonesian play about a boy, Ikan, who goes fishing one day and fails to return. Assuming the worst, his parents hire a legendary seafarer to look for his corpse. He finds nothing. The Age of Bones traces what happened to Ikan – from the day he left to his eventual imprisonment in Australia.
The Age of Bones is mostly set under the ocean. It is a fantastical piece that will be realised on stage through shadow puppets, video and music, as well as text. While it has a dramatic core, the play is satirical. The themes are cushioned with physical comedy and presented within a visual aesthetic that will appeal to young audiences. The play is performed in English with some Indonesian (subtitled).

Thursday 23rd March at 11am (Plus Q&A) and 7.30pm
