A story of love; that force of nature that strikes like lightning into our hearts.
You Know We Belong Together
A Black Swan State Theatre Company, Perth Festival and DADAA co-production
By Julia Hales, Finn O’Branagáin & Clare Watson
You Know We Belong Together brings the untold stories of performers with Down syndrome to life in a heartfelt and upbeat show, inspired by performer Julia Hales' passion for the classic Australian soap opera Home and Away.
Julia Hales has watched every single episode of the Australian soap opera Home and Away since it first aired in 1988, but she’s never seen another person with Down syndrome in the cast. Julia is an artist and performer, with dreams of landing a role in her favourite show and finding love.
You Know We Belong Together is a joyful celebration of community spirit and a call for greater inclusivity from a community rarely represented on stage or screen. This live documentary has had sold-out seasons in Australia and is at once a universal story of love, loss, and friendship, and a deeply personal exploration of the frustrations and aspirations of living with Down syndrome. All set in the famous diner at Summer Bay.
