re:group performance collective POV
What I love about POV is that it is a work that takes young people seriously – not as subjects to be explained, but as thinkers, makers and truth-tellers in their own right. At a time when young voices are often spoken about rather than listened to, this work hands over agency and trusts what emerges. It’s extraordinary and special to witness. POV also explores how we might navigate difficult, everyday conversations within families – the ones shaped by care, tension, misunderstanding and love. It doesn’t offer neat resolutions or moral lessons. It cleverly creates this shared space where the complexity of a family dynamic can be held without judgement. I think for our Perth Festival audiences the work resonates because it reflects real life as it is lived: messy, intimate and unfinished. It invites us to consider how we speak to one another across generations, how we share power and how empathy can be built through curiosity rather than certainty.
