“I was lucky enough to catch PAH! Stories digitally during lockdown. It was both a beautiful evening of storytelling from the Deaf community and an incredible showcase of how beautiful and varied the Auslan language is.” – Rachel Chant, Festival Director

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind storytelling experience, as Melbourne’s PAH! Stories makes its way to Sydney for the very first time. Created by Sam Martin, this event brings raw and powerful stories from members of the Deaf community to the stage. Be immersed in unique perspectives and experiences from a community that is often underrepresented in this engaging and inspirational collection of stories. One night only – don’t miss out.
