In 2009 Bangarra Dance Theatre celebrates 20 years of bringing Australia and the world its unique, exciting and inspirational dance theatre. Bangarra means “to make fire” in the Wiradjuri language of New South Wales and the company’s 2009 production Fire will be a retrospective featuring the most potent elements of the company’s repertoire during this extraordinary artistic period. Fire will take audiences on a 20 year journey that encapsulates 40,000 years of Indigenous culture while also tracing Bangarra’s evolution from its modest beginnings to its place now on the centre stages of the world. Fire is an opportunity for audiences to experience the brilliance of the company’s ensemble and its creative inspirations and a once-only chance to experience a kaleidoscope of works that have brought the company to the attention of the world. |
