BANGARRA: NYC PREMIERE OF AWAKENINGS
7:30pm
Oct 21, 23 & 25
Brooklyn Academy of Music
Harvey Theatre
651 Fulton Street
Tickets: $20, $35, $45
Bridging mythic narratives and modern forms, Australia's Bangarra Dance Theatre has forged an international reputation for their inimitable and imaginative dances, drawing from the rites and spirituality of Aboriginal culture to tell stories for the new century. Following the success of Bush (2004 Next Wave Festival) and Corroboree (2001 Next Wave Festival), Bangarra returns to BAM with the extraordinary, two-part Awakenings (Boomerang and Brolga).
With Boomerang, Bangarra returns to the mesmerizing rituals of Aboriginal heritage, remembering through movement and song the age-old wisdom of elders and their spiritual connections to the earth. In Brolga, the dancers recount a young girl's initiation into womanhood, revisiting her vivid transformation at a sacred site where the river meets the sea. Foreign yet familiar and always deeply affecting, Awakenings offers an arresting vision of the world seen through the eyes of a vital indigenous culture.
