Black Girls in Five Acts
Raw and poetic, Black Girl in Five Acts traces the journey of Black girlhood through memory, ritual, and performance. This is a work about grief and survival, tenderness and joy — an exploration of how stories live in the body and find freedom through the voice. Fierce and lyrical, it invites audiences into a space of intimacy and power, where silence is broken and stories emerge. This is theatre that speaks to inheritance, resilience, and the radical act of telling your story out loud.
Presented by: The Blue Room Theatre & Taonga Sendama
Black Girl in Five Acts is created and performed by Taonga Sendama, an award-winning writer and performer whose work spans poetry, theatre, and storytelling. Recognised with the Fremantle Arts Centre Groundworks Fellowship, the Tina Kane Emerging Writer Award, and the Centre for Stories Residency, Taonga creates art that merges intimacy and power, inviting audiences into acts of witnessing, survival, and connection.
