In development:

Creative Development project with Next Stage, Sydney Theatre Company. Part of the Rough Draft Program.

In October 2007 Marou Awanis, 49, and Geneva Jalal, 30 were shot dead on a busy Baghdad street by contractors from Australian company Unity Resources Group when their car supposedly “failed to stop”. Their deaths dragged Australian companies into a furious international debate on the ever-increasing role of private contractors in war zones, a highly controversial development in Iraq and other theatres of the so-called War on Terror.  version 1.0 are using this incident as a starting point for a wide ranging performance investigation of war and commerce, and the implications of this for our democracy.
 
STC will be hosting a free showing on Saturday 11 June at 5pm in Wharf 2 where you can see some fragments of a work in progress and hear about the creative development process.  Click here for more info and bookings
