Yirra Yaakin Theatre and the Insurance Commission of Western Australia joined forces for the last time to present MUTTACAR SORRY BUSINESS a unique performance tackling the high incidence of road trauma amongst Indigenous communities. This year we are touring Metro, the Mid West and Gascoyne. This project addresses key elements such as alcohol, risk taking behaviours and overcrowding, which combined with specific social issues, create a tragically high level of road trauma amongst Indigenous populations.

The project involves Aboriginal people in all stages of the creative and administrative process. The play is designed to tour to any venue with a set constructed in less than 20 minutes. Yirra Yaakin calls this KUTTA KUTTA, Aboriginal issue based theatre, where the message becomes the strength of the play, rather than a focus on props, setting and costumes. Our actors engage the imagination of our audience and our stories speak to our people.
