The Offering (A Plastic Ocean Oratorio)
National Theatre of Parramatta presents
The Offering (A Plastic Ocean Oratorio)

25 Jun 2025 to 28 Jun 2025

The multi-award-winning Australian author, poet, and rapper Omar Musa (Since Ali Died), and the internationally renowned American cellist and composer Mariel Roberts Musa bring a dramatic seafaring monologue to the stage with The Offering. The stirring music, poetry, and theatre performance is rooted in the tradition of oral histories and explores themes of environmental damage, belonging, and boundlessness, using Omar’s family history in Southeast Asia as inspiration. The show combines storytelling, poetry, hip-hop, and live music with sound recordings made in the forests and ocean off the island of Borneo in the Malay Archipelago.
