Indigenous theatre at it's emotional best- Bloodland protrays a genre of drama which typifies Indigenous symbolism and spiritualty as the underlying rhyme and reason for daily life and ritual in outback settlements While the family clan attempts to assimilate 20th century western civilisation anachronisms, the universal themes of teenage love, angst and rebellion against the known traditions and directives of the elders, and thefrustration in balancing the polar extremes of enculturalisation with generational development, suicide and interracial bickering are showcased. The tragic resolution is a communal funeral dirge where tradition and cleansing of the mourners overcomes all modernity. This is powerful drama, reality in an environment within our culture yet far removed from the urban environmental platform on which the play is performed..
