Friends of Baucau and Friends of Aileu are proud to invite you to a special Timor-Leste Friendship benefit night of the play Bare Witness.
Bare Witness, a new Australian play by Mari Lourey and directed by Nadja Kostich, will premiere at fortyfivedownstairs in September 2010, as a special La Mama presentation. The play is set in the world of photojournalism and set in East Timor, the Balkans and Iraq.
About a third of the play is set in East Timor in 1999 at the time of the referendum and ensuing violence. In writing the play Mari Lourey collaborated with Australian journalists who were in East Timor during this period and also with East Timorese collaborators who assisted them.
The play was shortlisted for the 2008 Patrick White award and was the recipient of the R.E. Ross Trust Award. For more about Bare Witness see the attached flier or the forty-five downstairs website.
