About

David Page was the right-hand man of Bangarra, having joined the company in 1991 with his brothers Stephen and Russell, alongside foundation member Djakapurra Munyarryun. David’s vision and dream for Bangarra created a wholly unique language, which channelled the hum of the land and drove a revolution in contemporary Aboriginal dance.

Featuring a notable cast of David’s collaborators, this one-off celebration explores the many mediums where David was at home, from cabaret and storytelling, to film and drag.

This production features the First Nations' languages Sydney language (Sydney basin) and Yolngu Matha (North East Arnhem Land).
