Witness the power of Ngambaa as they share the prosperity of generational storytelling through dance

'Ngambaa' (Mother in Gamilaraay) is a duo dance work told through the story of the dhinawan (emu) baawaa (sisters.) The sisters paved the creation of the earth and bring unity until one of the dhinawan is outcasted and sets fire to the land. The sisters then come back together in spirit form and time travel. They witness two generations of yinarrs (Aboriginal women) and they offer them cultural and spiritual insight into the power of Ngambaa and this earth. The yinarr's expressions refuse the silent lack of care for their existence and are determined to create a healthy and prosperous future, where yinarrs are respected and loved and so is our great planet.
