"...Through childbirth, sickness, hurt, and blight, and nervousness an' scarin', through bein' left alone at night, I've got to be past carin'..." An excerpt from Henry Lawson's poem, Past Carin'

Past Caring will see its world premiere in Singapore on 25 February 2009.

Inspired by the title of a poem by Australian writer Henry Lawson, Past Caring is an inter-disciplinary theatrical collaboration involving artists from Singapore and Australia.

Urgent issues of adoption,displacement, family, land and journey will be weaved together into a complex and contemporary presentation of text, music, multimedia and movement.
