Description "At the Centre of Light explores the Mary MacKillop story with three actor / singers. As 19th century Australia is being mapped, explored and carved up for minerals and land grabs, Mary sets out on a journey to discover another landscape made up of belief and dreams. She takes her vision of a new order of nuns to Rome. Her original and authentic voice challenges a colonial society dominated by men and asks, what is this land to which we belong?"
