Bangarra Dance Theatre presents Yuldea, the latest choreographic work from new artistic director Frances Rings.
Yuldea "awakens the earth and sky worlds to tell the story of the Aṉangu people of the Great Victorian Desert". This is a deeply personal and ceremonial affirmation of history and heritage, inspired by Rings’ family connection to South Australia's Yuldea region.
With costumes by Jennifer Irwin and lighting by Karen Norris, Yuldea features original music by David Page Music Fellow, Leon Rodgers, and songs from multi-award-winning electro-soul duo Electric Fields.
“The story of Yuldea asks us to look beyond the narrative of our Nations’ modernisation to reconcile a fraught history, and to affirm a future that no longer hides behind its truths but grows because of them,” says Frances Rings.
Yuldea follows the tenth anniverary tour of Terrain; the first full-length work Rings choreographed for Bangarra.
Yuldea is playing at Arts Centre Melbourne from September 27 to October 7. Tickets range from $54-$114, and you can get them here.
