Origins - Festival of First Nations
Little Black Bastard - (30 June – 2 July, 7.30pm, Rich Mix, Bethnal Green Road E1)
Written and performed by Noel Tovey.
A hit at last year’s Edinburgh Festival, Little Black Bastard is an autobiographical tale about growing up with the worst start in life:
being gay, black and impoverished in an era when Aboriginals were deemed sub-human.
Noel Tovey, now 76 and an Aboriginal elder, is a internationally successful actor, dancer, choreographer and campaigner,
and was director of the indigenous welcoming at
the Sydney Olympics. His astonishing life-story is shocking, inspiring and totally mesmerizing.

"A master story-teller... One of Australia’s living legends."
- Sunday Telegraph
"An extraordinary event… a remarkable story and performance"
- The Age
"Rarely have I heard an audience gasp so much in sympathetic dismay...
It’s the story of a man who, through art, is transfigured. Be brave, and go and see it"
