After 10 months off the stage, Bangarra Dance Theatre return with four nights of live performance under the stars. Spirit: a retrospective 2021 is a powerful collection of dance stories taken from Bangarra’s 30-year repertoire. Set to a haunting score, Spirit invites audiences to connect with stories and songlines drawn from all over Australia, in a celebration of First Nations Peoples’ unbroken connection to the land.
Featuring the full Bangarra ensemble, Spirit draws from a selection of the company’s most celebrated works, comprising of Brolga, 'Black' (Ochres), 'Yellow' (Ochres), 'Dingo' (Spear), 'White' (Ochres), 'Moth' (Bush), 'Two Sisters' (Bush), 'The Call' (Rush), and In her Mind (Nyapanyapa). Tracing an unbroken songline, Spirit gives voice to a cosmos of plants, animals, and ancestral medicine, laid down one step at a time.
