Our History
Capricorn
24 Jul – 12 Aug 2023
A show of unrequited love and vulnerability.
Capricorn poses the question, can you love someone and hate them at the same time? Written and directed by Butchulla and Kabi Kabi artist Aidan Rowlingson, this relevant work exploring heartbreak and healing made its world premiere in July.
Capricorn compacts all our anxieties and fears about love and loss into one relationship and asks us to look within. Through the lens of this broken relationship, Capricorn explores culture, sexuality, personal growth and grief as well as environmental issues, the importance of protest and the effects of institutional
corruption on society.
This theatrical journey from heartbreak to healing is tempered with a dash of surrealism and comic relief. Rowlingson co-directed the world premiere work with Queensland producer, playwright, director and Yuwibara woman, Nadine McDonald-Dowd. Capricorn is presented in association with QPAC.
