BAG presents GERT by Jacqui Malins

The wonderful Jacqui Malins will be returning to Binalong to present her acclaimed multimedia show GERT.
GERT is a mesmerising, time-bending experience. It brings one woman’s story to life using spoken word, visuals and music - and the voice of the river.Come and be transported through the deep history of ancient Lutruwita/Tasmania and the vibrant community and boom-and-bust rhythms of the west coast - a world of rivers and rainforest, loggers and miners, smelters and dams.
GERT tells two inseparable stories: one of a place, and the other of one woman who lived there. It speaks to anyone interested in history, women’s lives, industrial history or the environment. It is resonant with communities who are grappling with the legacies of mining, smelting and logging, and looking to a different future.
