STARDUST + THE MISSION performed by The Space Company
The Mission Production Image feat. Tom Molyneux, by Theresa Harrison
Family secrets are revealed in double bill Stardust + The Mission – two original Australian stories about love, music, war and all the things that people leave behind... Stardust tells the story of Col Brain: a professional trumpet/cornet player and bandmaster. Before Col died, he stored all of his life’s possessions into a wooden dresser and locked it up, never to be opened again. Told through the eyes of his grandson, award winning ABC presenter and performer Joel Carnegie – herein lies the discovery of a time capsule of a musical life, in a heartwarming quest to uncover what Col wanted us to know about the world, by the things he left behind.
The Mission tells the story of Allan McDonald: a “Fighting Gunditjmara” man from South-West Victoria, who was one of Australia’s first Indigenous soldiers to enlist for war. Allan fought at some of WWI’s most famous campaigns, including Gallipoli and Beersheba – only to be denied a soldier’s settlement on his ultimate return to Australia, and forced from his land at the Lake Condah Mission.
Allan’s great-great nephew, award winning Gunditjmara man Tom Molyneux shares this story of war, love and loss. These two stories are connected through a shared investigation - to trace the stories from our family ancestors to uncover who we are today.

BEEP
A slightly sideways tale about unexpected friendship, finding where you fit and learning to mix it up a little.
In Mort’s Village everything has its place, every day is the same and everyone likes it that way. Until one morning, crash, boom, bang… down comes Beep.
What is this annoying interruption to Mort’s breakfast molly melon, who is this noisy robot girl, and how will she find her home?
With Windmill’s trademark design, gentle storytelling, music and puppetry, Beep tells the story of what happens when someone new comes to town.
Audience: ages 2 - 7
