About

Indigenous Theatre at Belvoir supported by The Balnaves Foundation

Every blackfella has a story.

20 Questions is a cabaret and a talkshow rolled into one. It works like this: each night a new mystery guest from the exemplary roll-call of Indigenous performers is asked 20 questions by that great professional asker-of-good-questions Wesley Enoch. The questions are the same every night, but the answers are very different. The idea is that out of this simple set-up comes a big, rich modern dreaming of story and song – and a better understanding of how much more there is still to tell.

Reviews

It manages to sweep all present up in an exercise that perhaps, above all, celebrates what it means to play a part in the human performance.

Lloyd Bradford Syke | The Daily Review

Enoch is a personable interviewer and 20 Questions is an enjoyable hour spent watching talented people reveal something of themselves and what it is to be an indigenous person in this country.
