Sadness: A Monologue by William Yang

'Award-winning photographer William Yang explores issues of grief, family and identity in this adaptation of his acclaimed stage performance, Sadness. Directed by Tony Ayres, Sadness is a mesmerising, poetic montage of storytelling, photography and stylised re-enactment, which brings to life the stories of William Yang's family and friends. In Sadness, William Yang embarks on two journeys. The first is a pilgrimage to far North Queensland to investigate the murder of his uncle Fang Yuen... The second is a journey into grief, in which Yang relates stories of friends who have died of AIDS' - sourced from video flyer.
