Event Series: Sisa-Sisa

Sydney Festival: Sisa-Sisa

24 January @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm AEDT

Sisa-Sisa is a moving double-bill of two searingly personal dance solos by Alfira O’Sullivan and Murtala. Grounded in Indonesian culture, thrumming with an original score by Gondrong Gunarto, these works ask: what traces remain when we endure the unendurable?

In Gelumbang Raya, Murtala retraces his time as a volunteer in the aftermath of the 2004 Aceh tsunami, where he spent months pulling bodies from the earth. Through movement and story, he transforms trauma, migration and resilience into a shared act of remembrance and belonging.
