The Xrossing, a tribute show to legendary First Nations tightrope walker Con Colleano, will take place in Lismore’s Quad this Saturday 8 to Sunday 9 July as part of NAIDOC week. Con by name and nature, Colleano was able to fool powerful individuals throughout his career, from the likes of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini who were unaware of his true identity as a Gamileroi man.

James Murray speaks with The Xrossing‘s co-director and founder of SeedArts, Simone O’Brien about the show and Con Colleano’s legacy.
