A journey through the Blue Mountains

Crossing the Divide follows a high school history class on a trek across the Great Dividing Range. As the students learn about Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson, their guide draws attention to the First Nations histories missing from the familiar account of the expedition.

The tensions become personal for Liam, a Torres Strait Islander scholarship student, whose encounters with his classmates lead into an unexpected collision between past and present. Written and performed by Sam Foster, Hayden Jones and Benjin Maza, with sound design and composition by DOBBY, the work uses the journey to explore identity, history and division. Its QPAC season ran from 17 to 20 February 2026 as part of the venue's Learning and Engagement programme.

Compact lighting supplied for the season

Krank'd supplied Astera Pixel Bricks for the QPAC performances. These compact LED fixtures formed our contribution to the production's lighting package.

The work uses a small performing ensemble to carry a story across different times and places. The photograph captures that close relationship between performer, stage space and light. Our role was equipment supply to Shock Therapy, supporting the production as it reached both school groups and public audiences in Brisbane.
