Three dance pieces powerfully stating Indigenous connections to land and family. Macq - an intense and confronting telling of white settlement and its impact on Aboriginal communities interpreted through dynamic contemporary dance. Miyagan - an exploration of kinship using contemporary Aboriginal dance. Nyapanyapa - a moving tribute in a more traditional style to a this accomplished artist. Performing to an exciting blend of electronic and Indigenous music Bangarra’s choreography challenged, absorbed, inspired and rewarded an engaged audience.
