SUNDOWNER
Drama Unit 3, 2011 Playlist
Throug h the eyes of three generations Sundow ner tells the story of so many Austral ian families, using theatrical expression, dance and physica lity. If a loved one starts to lose their memories, what role can we play in holding on to them? And how can we care for them in the present while honour ing their memory? Sundow ner is a story of lament and at times, grief and sorrow. Ultimately though, it is a story of love: love of family, love of history and love of life.

“Sometimes there’s no scarier place to be than inside your own mind…” Sebastian is a unpopu lar fifteen-year-old suburba n kid, with an overactive imagination and an obsession with anime and death. His only friend, Claryssa, is an emo Wiccan art-frea k. What starts as just another night drinkin g down at the cricket nets soon gives way to an ecstatic vision that leaves Sebastian unconscious, their friendsh ip left in ruin. And so begins the Passion of Sebastian…
