Dignified Anger: Stories for a Perilous Now

A humorous, moving, passionate and theatrical storytelling/music show from two fabulous performers.

In these perilous and chaotic times, some long-established dangerous ideas abound: such as 'survival of the fittest', that 'humans should dominate nature', and that 'men are superior to women'. So, has the brilliant human race, blown it?

In Dignified Anger: Stories for a Perilous Now Jan 'Yarn' Wositzky and Penny Glass have created a poignant and uplifting affirmation of humanity. Taking its cue from the Latin American concept of 'la digna rabia' - dignified anger - the show brings to life women who led Central American indigenous communities to defy mines and dams on their country (performed in Spanish and English); the wisdom of the bushman and yarn spinner, Bill Harney, who returned from WWI with a hatred of war; the 14th century tale of 'What do women desire most, above all else' - the answer may surprise! – and the unacknowledged history of the Aboriginal man on Australia's two-dollar coin.
