ABOUT TRUE STORIES
Bangarra's reputation as one of the most exciting
contemporary dance companies in Australia and one of our country's
leading performing arts exports, takes yet another leap forward
with their brand new work True Stories. Exploring
the unending inspiration of Australia's Indigenous culture,
the company enters new theatrical territory with the choreographic
originality of award-winning Frances
Rings and with Elma
Kris making her main stage debut.
X300
In the 1950's a series of Atomic explosions were conducted on Maralinga Tjarutja
traditional lands. The code name of the test site was X300. Frances
Rings' new work powerfully and spectacularly explores a landscape assumed
vacant and cleared of occupation but which in reality became a contaminated
desert which poisoned the people. Rings' work is known for its theatricality
and inventiveness. X300 will bring Australian audiences a memorable
evening of lasting imagery.
EMERET LU ("Very
Old Things")
The passion and energy of the traditional people of the Torres Straits fuel
this exhilarating new work by choreographer, Elma
Kris. She explores her people's love of the land, the sea and of each other
with an exuberance handed down from generation to generation. The power and
excitement of dances celebrating rain, wind, the hunt, desire and pleasure
mingle with the charm of the spiritual to create an uplifting work of lasting
imagery and a thrilling experience of a fascinating and little-known culture.
From the stages of New York, Washington and
London, Bangarra has been heralded as an exciting dance ensemble
bringing audiences theatre experiences unique in the language
of movement. True Stories takes that reputation
to a new and thrilling level!
