NINNI
NINNI brings together drama, dance and song in a work exploring the lives of an urban Indigenous family that is partly absorbed into the mainstream Australian culture and how its members confront the identity issues that have been borne since colonisation.

About
NINNI is a dance drama about a family's search for their common cultural identity in the face of social, political and historic issues that confront Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today. At NINNI's heart is Mother Earth, the mother of children and the mother of carrying our strong cultural identity.
This production features the First Nations languages Yolngu Matha (Yiritja) (North East Arnhem Land) and Kala Kawaw Ya (Central & Western Torres Strait Islands).
