What is documentary theatre?

Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction… Documentary theatre is inspired by real people and real events from the world.

When making Creation Creation, we started by asking people what great mystery they would like an answer to. Then, we took these epic unknowable questions and searched for the answers by recording over 35 hours of interviews with members of the community in order to create the work.

We asked students from Clovelly Park Primary to don their documentarian caps and create mini documentary theatre works based on their most burning questions. Watch their masterful documentaries below.

We acknowledge and thank our Education Partner, the Lang Foundation for their generous support of this project.
