★★★★★ "a movingly sweet, sad, angry and joyful celebration of passion, determination and spirit." ArtsHub
★★★★ "...envelopes the audience, creating a shared joyous experience of the rarest kind in theatre." West Australian
"a sweet, joyful and generous piece of theatre." The Guardian

We fall into it and out of it, this crazy little thing called love. It’s a battlefield, an open door and it’s even in the air. But what does love really mean to you?

Commissioned by Perth Festival You Know We BelongTogether is a story of love, a theatrical celebration of this incredible force of nature told through video, dance and song. Co-creator and host Julia Hales offers a deeply personal story of her own experiences of love as a daughter, actor, dreamer and person with Down syndrome. Bringing to the stage the voices and aspirations of a community we rarely get to see, You Know We Belong Together is an uplifting tale of love, relationships, acceptance and belonging – and Julia’s life-long dream of appearing on Home and Away.
