COLDHANDS

By Dora Abraham

Directed by Zola Allen

One hundred years ago, the world was gold…

In an imagined but probable future, all the gold in the world has been stolen by the fabled ‘Aurum Daemon’. During an annual hunt for sacrifice near a post-mining town, a Mother teaches a sick Girl to read. Fleeing from the mob, they encounter a nomadic Hunter who has connections to the land and speaks a language they do not understand. Together, the three embark on a journey of survival to relearn the workings of the world and their impact upon it, all while holding onto their secret… the Girl can turn things to gold.

Winner of the 2020 Flinders University Young Playwright’s Award, Coldhands is a mythic response to climate crisis and the destruction of nature. This immersive world-premiere production invites audiences into a world of demons, sacrifice and gold to remind us of the importance of connection through language and story.
