POV

re:group performance collective
A kid with a camera. Two adults. No rehearsal. One daring and inventive live docu-drama.

Enter the world of Bub, an 11-year-old girl obsessed with documentary filmmaking. In the aftermath of a family breakdown, she turns to dramatised re-enactments to try to figure out what happened.

In each performance of this latest docu-drama experiment from re:group performance collective, two new, unrehearsed adult actors join a young performer onstage. As she guides them to re-enact her personal experiences, these brave (or foolhardy) performers discover the story on the night, negotiating difficult questions about parenting, agency, mental health and how we speak to children.

Bub wants to get to the bottom of her mum’s erratic behaviour. Can these two adults answer the tough questions of a child?

After indie flick (Coil) and sci-fi (UFO), POV is re:group's playful, urgent and live version of a documentary, blurring the lines between personal history, performance and human connection.
