Yuldea
Queensland Performing Arts Centre and Bangarra Dance Theatre in association with Brisbane Festival present
From the incomparable storytellers of Bangarra Dance Theatre comes a major new work.
Queensland Premiere
By Bangarra Dance Theatre
We are memory.
Glimpsed through shimmering light on water.
A story place where black oaks stand watch.
Carved into trees and painted on rocks.
North – South – East – West. A brittle landscape of life and loss.
Yuldea awakens the earth and sky worlds to tell the story of the Aṉangu people of the Great Victorian Desert.
This major new work explores the moment traditional life collided with the industrial ambition of a growing nation. In 1917, the two halves of the Transcontinental Railway met at the precious water soak on the edge of the Nullarbor, Yuldi Kapi.
Yuldea features original music by Leon Rodgers with featured songs by multi-award-winning duo Electric Fields. Designers Elizabeth Gadsby (Set), Jennifer Irwin (Costume) and Karen Norris (Lighting) create a desert world on stage.
