Thrumming with dance, body percussion, syncopated rhythms, and stunning visuals, the performance unites Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and Indonesian artists in a powerful rebuke of colonial amnesia.
A groundbreaking commission, Bunyi Bunyi Bumi replaces tired narratives of trade and Empire with truth, resistance, and resilience. Co-directed by raymond d. blanco (Yadhaigana & Erub) and Dr. Priya Srinivasan, in collaboration with Waangenga Blanco, Alfira O’Sullivan, and Murtala, this contemporary work uses immersive choreography to celebrate the interconnectedness of cultures.
