Bangarra Dance Theatre: Terrain

Australia’s leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander performing arts company, Bangarra Dance Theatre, presents Terrain at the Sydney Opera House for a strictly limited season. This is a rare opportunity to see the multi-award winning work re-staged: an insight into a world where the connection to the land is ever-present and ever powerful.

Terrain explores the timeless wonder of Kati Thanda (Lake Eyre) in South Australia, Australia’s largest salt lake and one of the few untouched natural waterways in the world. Created in consultation with Arabunna Elder, Reginald Dodd, it explores the fundamental connection between people and land – how our land looks after us, how we connect with its spirit, and how we regard its future.

Terrain was the remarkable first full-length commission choreographed by Bangarra’s Associate Artistic Director, Frances Rings. After its acclaimed world premiere season, it went on to win two Helpmann Awards including Best Ballet/Dance Work as a defining piece of Australian choreography.

Running time: 65 minutes, no interval.
