Inviting wider audiences to experience the compelling real stories of refugees and people seeking asylum, The Village showcases the cultural diversity of Australia and honours the courage, strength and determination of the women, men and children who have made Australia their new home.

This interactive performance experience allows audiences to witness first-hand the verbatim stories of ordinary people who have found themselves in extraordinary situations and persevered to tell their life-changing stories.
