Plus, producer Shareeka Helaluddin held a personal conversation with creative S. Shakthtidharan. Shakthi is a Western Sydney storyteller with Sri Lankan heritage and Tamil ancestry; and a writer, director and composer of original music.

This week the debut of his next work the Jungle and the Sea unfolds into another chapter, travelling back in time to follow the story of a family during the war. 

Hear him talking through telling difficult stories as an act of healing, how the current crisis in Sri Lanka impacted the production and the power of creating community-based art - that is interested in collaboration, access and transformation. 

Music woven throughout the show is ELSZ - Holy Water Meditation with Ganavya
