Work Overview
DREAM OF DEATH is the first song in the new song cycle TRUTH IN THE CAGE composed by Chloé Charody based on the poetry collection of the same title by Manus Prison survivor, Mohmmad Ali Maleki.
Mohammad is an Iranian refugee who spent 10 years incarcerated at Manus Prison - a place run by the Australian Government to detain mainly men who had come to Australia by boat to ask for sanctuary.
Whilst in this prison, Mohammad and his fellow inmates suffered terribly, and it was inside this prison where Mohammad wrote his poetry collection 'Truth in the Cage'.
Chloé has collaborated with Mohammad to bring 7 of these poems to life in a dynamic new song cycle.
