A-Z

Each year 54,000 people go missing in Australia, which comprises over 2% of the population. That figure is growing. Why do so many Australians go missing? Do they want to be found? The Comprehensive A-Z of Missing Persons Australia explores the ‘why’ of this issue and gives voice to 800 missing persons listed in the Australian Missing Persons Register.

WAYTCo has commissioned 23-year old award-winning playwright and company alumni Grace Chow to write this ambitious new play. Directed by Artistic Director Amelia Burke, A-Z will star a large cast of youth performers – some of Boorloo’s most dedicated emerging actors. Together the cast and creative team will work across disciplines, utilising physical theatre, verbatim, and multimedia.

A-Z is a portrait of our nation in photographic negatives, a complex pastiche of love, loss, longing…and threat. Inherent in the work is a call to better look out for one another, as family members, friends and neighbours. Join us in addressing this unspoken crisis, one that disproportionately affects our young people.
