A new dance and theatre work by Maitland Schnaars and Brooke Leeder & Dancers, in collaboration with Ian Wilkes and Humphrey Bower, A Blessed Curse speaks to a curse, told to be placed on WA Chief Engineer C Y O’Connor, which sent him mad and drove him to his death just months before the completion of the Fremantle Harbour in 1903.
Revisiting this moment in history, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal stories are told together, in a visceral experience of dance and spoken word. A Blessed Curse opens a new window to this history, but with a twist. Seen not as a curse, but as a blessing, the story of C Y O’Connor is voiced through movement, sound, language and landscape.
