Regional Sounds

Backstories is a multi-sited storytelling festival located across Western Australia. Spend a lazy afternoon with friends and family and listen to two trained storytellers share their experiences. Pack a picnic, bring something to sit on, and put your mingling hat on – it’s going to be a rippa arvo!

Featuring storytellers Brooke Bennett and Polo Or, with music by Mel Carter, and facilitated by Rosie Sitorus.

Organised in partnership with Euphorium.
