Ethno-cultural mandate or ethno-cultural casting statement: This is an
Australian/Sri Lankan co-production. Written by an Australian/SL writer with
a cast of caucasian Australian, Sri Lankan and Indigenous Australian roles.

Additional information:
Belvoir Theatre is one of Australia's preeminent theatre companies.
Written by Shakthidharan Sivanathan, A Counting and Cracking of Heads is a
play following the uprooting and resettling of a family over four
generations from Sri Lanka to Australia. Through their journey, we see a Sri
Lanka riven by, but by no means surrendering to, violent divisions – and an
Australia transforming of, but also transformed by, the people that flee to
its shores.

The work will be directed by Eamon Flack (Artistic Director, Belvoir).
The work will rehearse in November/December 2017 and premiere in early 2018
at a number of international arts festivals across Australia.

We are casting four roles internationally. We are looking for Tamil and
Sinhala speakers, male and female as follows:
Male: 50-65yrs
Female: open (need to play range from 20's-70's)
Female: 50-65yrs
