Q The Locals presents The Offering performed by the multi-award winning Australian author, poet, and rapper Omar Musa, and the internationally renowned American cellist and composer Mariel Roberts.

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.

In The Offering, a protagonist from a country torn apart by ecological collapse and climate change travels across a plastic ocean towards a mythical volcano where he seeks destruction by self-immolation, but instead finds revelation and a vision of a world without borders.
