From ocean depths to molten-born ridgelines, two leading Indigenous contemporary dance companies converge.
In this world premiere collaboration, Atamira choreographer Gabrielle Thomas takes us to the depths of the moana in Tere Tohorā Tere Tangata — Where Whales Journey, People Follow; while Karul choreographer Thomas E.S. Kelly brings forth landscapes of molten-born ridgelines in Dargin-nyi Jalu-nu Borrol — From the Bones of the Volcano. The dancers of both companies also unite in a shared exchange.
Bringing Māori and Aboriginal cultures and distinct contemporary choreographic languages together, WAI BURRA generates new currents of movement, connection, and possibility.
Rodney Bell leads this electrifyingly unique performance, live on stage and different every time, with surprise guest artists and dancers waiting in the wings.
