HAVEN forms the second part of the Great Southern Land trilogy that began with SHATTERED last year. Together the performances aim to explore Australian culture and its changing identity.
What began discussing the themes and misconceptions surrounding terrorism presented in SHATTERED, now continues with a focus on the conversation surrounding the treatment of those seeking asylum in our country. This time around, the audience are transported to the year 2050, a future where, because of our own actions, we are forced to seek refuge elsewhere, much like the asylum seekers of the 21st century. Here Lewis combines discussions about issues of climate change and global warming with refugee legislation and treatment in Australia.
