Theatre Works: Masterpieces Of The Oral And Intangible Heritage Of Humanity
22 July @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm AEST

Inside a war-ravaged museum, now a makeshift prison, three women are forced together: a soldier shaped by violence, a nurse guarding her secrets, and an art restorer fighting to protectwhat little beauty remains.
As the walls close in, each must confront the cost of survival, thepower of truth, and the fragility of humanity itself.
MASTERPIECES OF THE ORAL AND INTANGIBLE HERITAGE OF HUMANITY is a tense, poetic and unflinching examination of what endures when everything else is lost: art, faith, compassion, and the will to hope.
In a world once again torn by conflict and division, this story feels urgently of our time. It asks: when history is erased, who will remember what made us human?
