Last year in and out of lockdown, Dupé made an album about his great-aunt Margaret, who spent her entire adult life in service at Abbotsford Convent. Margaret’s life story was both ordinary, and even more so in hindsight extraordinary. She lived a life that would be considered extreme today… a life without freedom. Reflecting upon her life proved to be humble, emotional, and fertile ground for 21st-century perspective whilst exploring narrative and biography through music.

While the music serves as most uninhibited expression of Margaret’s story, these writings from Dupé help provide further insight into Margaret’s life: 

Margaret was my grandmother’s sister, I didn’t know my grandmother but I met Margaret several times as a child. We would drive all day from Canberra to Melbourne from before light to after, to spend time with our relatives since both my parents were born and raised there.

Visiting this diminutive elderly woman with white hair in a bun and black habit and large crucifix was a strange procedure since she was clearly a prisoner in this convent. With both of her parents dead, her sisters put her into Abbotsford Convent as a grieving nineteen year old unwed mother.

A nun would sit at our table listening to the conversation to remind us all of that fact. Margaret was a “bad girl” and as such had been kept away from the children and reforming girls that were also in the convent. She existed within this small village of impounded women, day by day through two world wars, Vietnam and the death of her entire family. She slept in a dormitory, rose at five for prayers, worked in a laundry all day and had only one possession, a secret radio to listen to the races and footy. Her dormitory was in a building within a grey concrete courtyard which was gated and had one tree within it whilst restricted beautiful grounds lay all around.

As a teenager, Margaret was working for a married farmer in the western districts and had fallen pregnant to him (I don’t know if it was consensual) and had a child which she named Eileen after her favourite sister. The child was taken away and when she had another child a year later with the same man, she also called her Eileen (probably believing the first child had died). The first Eileen lived and went into the world equally oblivious to her mother’s plight and the second Eileen died after birth and was quietly buried in a suburb in Melbourne where Margaret would be buried 65 years later.

When she arrived at the convent, Margaret was given a new name and the gate closed behind her for the rest of her life. My father loved this wiry rebel (named Jock by him for her jockey-like stature) who lived both a hard and a sheltered life. Researching and reflecting on Margaret’s life made me deeply consider gender, class, compassion and the Catholic Church as connected to my family and more broadly. The archives from the convent where she lived for over six decades provided no trace of her existence except for a record of being slightly ill twice in the 1960s… no photographs, no accounts of any activities or interests.

06. Feel It - Outss

The story so far...
In Ancient Forests you find yourself in the midst of a huge, seemingly undiscovered forest surrounded with mystery and allure. You hear strange Whispers coming from within the woods, attracting you to its mystique. Entering the forest, you are greeted with that wonderfully familiar sense of adventure; a longing for the unknown. The further you are taken, the stronger the connection you feel with the autumn-soaked trees, the Moonlit Glades, and the soft touch of the wind. As the Echoes of the trees grow more captivating, you realise you are not alone...

The story continued...
Eien's Fable takes off from where Ancient Forests left off, deep in the strangely alluring ancient woods. You Encounter the Gatekeeper who tells you tales of Eien, a civilization all but forgotten, guarded by the many other unique Spirits of Eien. You are here in a land unimaginably different from yours, yet as you walk in their footsteps, you are hit with a stirring sense of unexpected nostalgia for a place you have never been. Embraced by the warmth of the rain, glimpses of the past flood your mind, transporting you to a place beyond time. As the world shapes itself around you, you draw parallels between this world and yours, realizing why you are here. Eien's story lives on in you, in the heart of the music.
