A Magical Guide to Fighting Fascism

“I look out on the Indian ocean, wonder: was I ever supposed to be here?
Doesn’t feel like my feet fit here. No ancestors here.
¿Cómo llegué aquí? [How did I get here?]”

Three women, three time periods, three regimes: one family full of secrets. An epic musical journey following three women in three places as they discover untold family truths. Based on fascinating historical events – the Chilean dictatorship, Scottish trade unionists, and the second generation Australian experience. Be transported magically between worlds as mysterious, tyrannical forces try to keep these women apart. Enter angry mermaids, wise trees, and messages travelling on the wind that whips the sand dunes. Expect music, humour, and a dash of history, as you are guided on a multicultural voyage to discover what happens to families when secrets are buried and memories are lost at sea.
