Red Beti Theatre Celebrates 5th Anniversary of Decolonise Your Ears Festival with Three Powerful New Works by Indigenous, Black and Racialised Playwrights Festival features intimate new plays exploring Indigenous and South Asian women’s experiences alongside professional development workshops for artists.
Taking place October 10-12, 2025 at Theatre Aquarius's Norman and Louise Haac Studio Theatre. This milestone year features three compelling new works by Indigenous, Black, People of Colour (IBPOC) playwrights, showcasing stories that centre culturally specific voices and challenge theatrical conventions.
