BEMAC presents Karalbo - One for All

You are cordially invited to the premiere of "Karalbo". Karalbo is the culmination of year two of BEMAC's One 4 All project, funded by the Australia Council for the Arts, art in a multicultural Australia initiative. An original musical theatre piece which has been collaboratively created by young people from Sudanese, Samoan, Papua New Guinean, Indigenous and Australian backgrounds; Karalbo will take you on a journey, trekking across Sudan, singing in the Pacific and chewing bubble-gum in Australia. These young people have come to together to create both a show and friendships that will last a life-time....Karalbo, all together!


‘Karalbo’, an Aboriginal word meaning ‘togetherness’ is a fitting name for this project exploring the journeys of young Queenslanders from diverse backgrounds.

These young people have collaborated with professional artists such as Brisbane musician Roz Pappalardo, and each other, to tell their stories through music and drama. The performance will trace journeys from around the world, meeting in the city of Brisbane and looking to the future.

BEMAC's One 4 All project funded by the Australia Council's Arts in a Multicultural Australia Initiative.
