in 2018, a warm and wonderfully funny evocation of life on Mabuiag Island told in stories, dance and using tiny dioramas and 8mm film footage shot by his grandfather Ephraim, a linguist who dedicated his life to keeping Kala Lagaw Ya alive.
As a child, Bani played basketball and volleyball and found “I could be a leader there, on the court.” He left home, on Waiben , when he was a teenager to pursue a career in state level basketball in Cairns. He returned when he saw a call for auditions for RAN , the TV series starring Susie Porter that was filmed in Torres Strait. They were looking for Torres Strait Islander actors, no experience necessary.
“I struggled,” he admits. “I was a boy straight off the island and English was my third language. I didn’t understand half the things the other students were saying. It just wasn’t my space.”
Hope they find a way to show the tragedy was Desdemona's because she was killed by a man who claimed to love her and not Othello's because he murdered his wife when he didn't 'need' to. No excuse for this play ever but with Othello as an Islander man in an an Islander community?
