SandSong: Stories from the Great Sandy Desert — Bangarra Dance Theatre
Set in Walmajarri Country, this powerful performance explores the displacement and survival of First Nations people.
Overview
Bangarra Dance Theatre is bringing its renowned work Sandsong: Stories from the Great Sandy Desert back to the stage this winter. The production premiered last year at the Sydney Opera House and marked the company's first new production at the venue since COVID-19 closures.
If you didn't get a chance to see the enthralling show in 2021, here's the gist. Set in Walmajarri Country, which spans the Great Sandy Desert and Kimberley regions of Western Australia, this powerful performance explores the displacement and survival of First Nations people in this part of Australia, particularly between the 1920–1960s.
Artistic Director Stephen Page and Associate Artistic Director Frances Rings have choreographed this breathtaking work in consultation with Wangkatjungka and Walmajarri Elders, reaffirming Bangarra's place as the leading performing arts company for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
