Event Series: Song Spirals

Sydney Opera House: Song Spirals

6 September @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm AEST

Song Spirals is an immersive journey into the language, culture and Country of celebrated creator Rosealee Pearson. Ancient Yolŋu rhythm and songs are brought to life through stunning movement in this powerful dance work performed in Sydney for the first time. With dance, music and mesmerising projections, this performance weaves together age-old tradition and bold contemporary artistry to transport you to the heart of Yolŋu Country.

Adapted from the groundbreaking book which won the Prime Minister’s Award for Non-Fiction, Song Spirals is a spellbinding new dance work by Yolŋu artist and choreographer Rosealee Pearson. Drawing on the deep cultural power of Milkarri, the Yolŋu women’s practice of crying songlines, this performance brings the Yolŋu Matha language to life through the dancer’s bodies.
