Embracing theatrical language, the play incorporates several performance elements such as puppetry, mask, music, and dance. With a cast of 29 speaking roles plus chorus, the play has an estimated length of 60-80 minutes. Designed to provoke discussion and debate, the play outlines personal and societal issues, including environmental concerns, politics, and Australian history.
