Description Under the night sky, two worlds collide in this fascinating, incomparable performance where scientific theory meets traditional belief.

Enchanting and interactive, two great characters - senior custodian of the Wardaman people Bill Yidumduma Harney and UK born and educated CSIRO astrophysicist Ray Norris, explore their separate, yet hauntingly similar notions of the question: who were the first astronomers? They provoke theories, unravel mysteries and bust myths with humour, charisma and years of experience.
