Brimming over with sadness, anger, joy and steely resistance, Jurrungu Ngan-ga is a deeply affecting and urgent work by one of the nation’s most innovative dance theatre companies, that confronts Australia’s shameful fixation with incarceration. This breathtaking new work connects the shockingly disproportionate levels of Indigenous Australians in custody and the indefinite detention of asylum seekers in Australia’s immigration detention centres. Jurrungu Ngan-ga, translated from Yawuru as ‘straight talk’, takes inspiration from the words and experiences of Yawuru leader Patrick Dodson, Kurdish-Iranian writer and former Manus Island detainee Behrouz Boochani, and Iranian-Australian scholar-activist Omid Tofighian. This performance forms part of Canberra Theatre Centre's Valence series – an electrifying performance series that will ignite the senses and challenge perceptions. Learn more on their website! Plus!
