Crossroads: my stories of Balibo

Premiere performance of Crossroads; my stories of Balibo

‘Crossroads’ marks 50 years since the murder of Anne E Stewart’s brother, journalist Tony, in Balibo, East Timor, on 16 October 1975.

To honour him, as well as her parents and siblings who carried a lifelong loss, Anne has written a collection of poetry and prose that details moments and emotions in the long years of grief.

As the family’s archivist and a professional storyteller, Anne weaves other stories throughout to explain how this important moment in Australian history affected her family.

Much has been written and said about the death of the Balibo 5 but ‘Crossroads’ invites us on an inside private journey with Anne and her family.

Anne also brings a lightness to the story with her family’s long and comforting involvement with the people of East Timor since 1975.
