  Program for Rawcus work, presented at Melbourne International Arts Festival, 'Song for a weary throat' reads, in part, “To say that Song for a Weary Throat is set in the aftermath of some terrible event isn't quite right. The work instead offers up the state of aftermath itself as an existential condition, conveying the emotional logic and bodily experience of being in such a turbulent moment that is defined by what has gone before.”
