What happens when a politically-concious troupe gather in a colonial hotel on the remote island of Atauro for two months?

DOKU RAI (you, dead man, I don’t believe you) is the first international theatre production created in Timor Leste, and has been hailed as a ‘glorious explosion of rock and blood’. Partnering with East Timorese rock royalty Liurai Fo’er and Galaxy, Melbourne’s iconic Black Lung Theatre and Whaling Firm have crafted a daring mythological piece on fragility, chaos, power and death. DOKU RAI visits Carriageworks from September 24-28.
