| Description |
Awakenings in two parts: Boomerang and Brolga. Boomerang returns to the mesmerizing rituals of Aboriginal heritage, remembering through movement and song the age-old wisdom of elders and their spiritual connections to the earth. In Brolga, the dancers recount a young girl's initiation into womanhood, revisiting her vivid transformation at a sacred site where the river meets the sea. Foreign yet familiar and always deeply affecting, Awakenings offers an arresting vision of the world seen through the eyes of a vital indigenous culture. |
