The Cherry Pickers

     Kevin Gilbert (1933-1993), Indigenous activist, writer and artist, wrote the first play by an Aboriginal person to be publicly performed in Australia. Born in Condoblin, NSW, of Wiradjuri, English and Irish heritage, he grew up on reserves and fringe settlements, beginning to work itinerantly at the age of fourteen. In 1957, when he was 23, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for the domestic murder of his non-Aboriginal wife. He served more than fourteen years in prison, maintaining that he acted in self-defence. While incarcerated in the 1960s he began to make lino-cuts, and he started to pen the play The Cherry Pickers in 1968. It was smuggled out of gaol on toilet paper. It was first workshopped and presented in a reading at the small Mews Theatre in Sydney 'in the open air' with Bob Maza and other Aboriginal actors reading the parts. The play is significant that it was the first play written in English by an Aboriginal and also the first play to be performed entirely by an Aboriginal cast.


     The play was performed in its full form by Melbourne's Nindethana Theatre Group in 1971 and in Redfern, Sydney in 1972 but the play was not published until 1988 when, in the wake of protests against the Bicentennial celebrations of European colonization of Australia, it became a symbol of Aboriginal protest. Gilbert's play is based on the stories and experiences of itinerant workers and it deals with, as Gilbert puts it in an introduction to the play written in 1969: ... spiritual searching and loss, my people pushed into refugee situations, dissocialized if you like. The play's narrative mixes traditional creation myths, rituals, political diatribes, clever dialogue and humour. It is through this humour that Gilbert explores alcoholism, violence and spiritual and cultural issues.


     The Cherry Pickers is a play of humanity, of the search for justice, of a return to spirituality. It is an intimate, albeit dramatized, glimpse of the family. It is a communication, a gift that, should your heart glimpse the key, will enable you to understand what is meant when Aboriginals demand integrity as the only basis upon which Blacks can begin to negotiate justice.

The Cherry  Pickers his greatest play one of which places much greater emphasis on the exclusiveness of the black expression of black issues while others have served to unnecessarily expand Gilbert´s material instead of pruning the play and which affects the playwright´s intended communication of black integrity toward a white audience. Gilbert´s play expressing aboriginality within the European structural constraints of publishing. He deals with this contradiction by satirizing the white invasion of Australia and subsequently creating a work which places a dramatic thorn in the consciousness of white Australians in a passionate and vibrant manner which brings the Cherry Pickers beyond a one dimensional method  of confrontation ,showing this confrontation between two social entities that fight  for the supremacy of the power one white and one black.

The Cherry Pickers: An honest humour about social problems.



Kevin Gilbert was born in Condobolin, New South Wales in 1933, of the Wiradjuri and Kamilaroi peoples. He left school after fifth grade at age fourteen, and worked in itinerant seasonal jobs. In 1957 Gilbert was sentenced to life imprisonment after a domestic dispute in which his wife was killed. During the fourteen years that he spent in some of the worst jails in Australia he strove to educate himself, honing his artistic talents to become a prominent poet, playwright, printmaker (Gilbert was Australia's first recognised Aboriginal printmaker) and photographer. Gilbert wrote the play The Cherry Pickers in 1968 and first exhibited his work in 1970 at the Arts Council Gallery, Sydney, in an exhibition organised by the Australia Council. He was granted parole in 1971. Gilbert was instrumental in the establishment of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy opposite Old Parliament House, Canberra the following year, and wrote Because a White Man'll Never Do It in 1973. His book Living Black: Blacks Talk to Kevin Gilbert (1977) was awarded the National Book Council Book Award in 1978.

Kevin was one of the paramount Aboriginal artists of 20th century Australia, known best as an activist, artist, poet, printmaker and the first Aboriginal playwright and political writer to be published in Australia.


The Cherry Pickers according to one story in the tradition of Genet and Gramsci, was smuggled out of gaol on sheets of toilet paper. Gilbert described the play as a story about ‘seasonal workers', focusing on ‘spiritual searching and loss, my people pushed into refugee situations, desocialised if you like'. Based on the experiences of itinerant rural workers, the play explores issues of family, spirituality and dispossession. The narrative combines creation myths, tribal ritual, political oratory, dirty jokes, songs and interminable waiting. It is the waiting that forms the heart of the play. Gilbert structures the work around a group of indigenous Australians condemned to wander the margins of their own continent in pursuit of whatever work they can find. They have set up camp to wait for the commencement of the cherry-picking season, traditionally marked by the largest cherry tree bearing fruit, and the arrival of Johnollo, a talismanic figure who evidently shares Godot's sense of punctuality. In the meantime, they tell stories, sing songs and keep the audience royally entertained for the play's 90-minute duration.

The Hairy Ape by Eugene O´Neill.


Principio del formulario
Final del formulario

 The hairy Ape of Eugene O'Neill, is an expressionist painting that shows the concern of the writer by social entities represented in it by the oppressed industrial working class and the capitalist system, which pursues the working man and cannot solve the most specific problems developed in the industrial environment that presents itself as something harmful and dehumanizing to the surface and inhumanity of the rich world; also showing the condition human, away from nature and unable; in some cases incorporate to the environment that surrounds it, social groups or an environment adverse. 
This work is the life of a burly, illiterate laborer and irrational known as Yank that seeks to give meaning to his life, wanting to belong to a world controlled by rich; who has confidence in his physical power, on the development of skills for the work, however, at the beginning of the work when daughter fragile and rich of an industrialist in the steel business refers to it as a "dirty beast" Yank suffers a serious identity crisis, abandoning the ship and deep into the big city (Manhattan), realizing quickly that does not fit in any part of that society, the big avenues, or new jobs, finally taking it to the search of a being that it may be akin to if same, found only in a gorilla in a Zoo, dying in the arms of this. 
Is important to note that the work holds a great secrecy, to show the man as a being irrational, out of its zone weak no reason to follow later with its nature, matter much to say of others; represented by the girl from high society, who sees the other than your social class, as inferior beings with the right to bully them and abuse them at your convenience comparing them with irrational as gorillas and monkeys beings.
