Healing Scars

Healing Scars by Warren Mason

Healing Scars is an in-development expression of the self-healing journey First People take in reconciling the grief of loss from injustice crossing multiple lifetimes.

Yuwalaaraay/Yorta Yorta composer and performer Warren Mason loops the natural sounds of his homeland, the haunting tones of his guitar, the spoken word of multiple languages and singing styles of his old people. Creating an intricate tapestry of sound interwoven with movement choreographed by Jo Clancy (Wiradjuri)  tracing tracks leading back from the past.

First Developed at the 10th anniversary Yellamundie Festival in 2023. Healing Scars was one of six newly developed performing art works across playwriting, sound and movement. Since its inception in 2013, the Yellamundie Festival has grown as an international beacon for First Peoples talent.
