Bennelong
Bangarra Dance Theatre

"Extraordinarily powerful...it sums up yesterday, today and perhaps tomorrow." - Sydney Morning Herald

The life of one of history’s most iconic Aboriginal figures is explored onstage by internationally acclaimed Bangarra Dance Theatre. Woollarawarre Bennelong was a Senior man of the Eora who led his community to survive a clash of cultures. Through striking dance, soul-stirring soundscapes and exquisite design, Bangarra unpacks his legacy and its reverberation through contemporary Australian life.

Created by artistic director Stephen Page, Bennelong is Bangarra at its best. In a unique Australian dance language, the company celebrates the continuation of life and culture through the power, brilliance and passion of its outstanding artists.

Supported by Community Partner Chevron.
