BANGARRA DANCE THEATRE

Acclaimed as “ravishingly beautiful” … “utterly searing” … and “a benchmark in Australian dance creativity”, Bennelong is Bangarra at its best. Created by Artistic Director Stephen Page, Bennelong explores the life of one of history’s most iconic Aboriginal figures. Woollarawarre Bennelong was a senior man of the Eora, from the Port Jackson area in Sydney. With extraordinary curiosity and diplomacy, Bennelong led his community to survive a clash of cultures and left a legacy that reverberates through contemporary life. Through striking dance language, soul-stirring soundscapes and exquisite design, Bennelong will leave you in awe of Australia’s history – and its power to repeat.
