Created by acclaimed director, choreographer and storyteller Stephen Page AO, RECLAIM combines dance, spoken word, poetry and music to celebrate the resistance and resilience of NSW’s First Nations peoples, illuminating truths that exist beyond books.

In a series of connected vignettes, this unique production draws on the Library’s inspiring collection and Stephen Page’s iconic body of work to survey a cast of First Nations characters from First Contact to the present day to create a continuum of resilience and presence. Through compelling re-enactments of the knowledge held within these walls, and a powerful recalibration of how that knowledge is understood and celebrated, Page and the award-winning team behind ‘Wudjang: Not the Past’ and ‘Baleen Moondjan’ reclaim the stories that haunt our Library and the site on which it stands.
