BURIED CITY
By Urban Theatre Projects, Belvoir and Sydney Festival 2012
In a gutted building primed for development, a group of security workers, labourers and a local teenager are getting set for a showdown over who builds the future and who gets to own it.
Western Sydney's celebrated Urban Theatre Projects (The Fence, The Last Highway, Back Home) joins forces with Belvoir for this timely, thought-provoking show about a city and society redefining itself.
Buried City is an ambitious work about ever-changing cities where waves of immigrants make new lives on old land. Backed by that troubadour of Redfern- Waterloo, Perry Keyes, this is a surprising show about the kindness of strangers and the brutality of old friends.
This work was first developed through a commission from Harbourfront Centre, Toronto, Canada.
