Inspired by a girl's journey between two cultures, Mathinna traces the history of an Aboriginal girl removed from her traditional life, adopted into Western Colonial Society to be Ultimately returned to the fragments of her original heritage.
Mathunna became the archetype of the 'stolen child' and in this stunning work, Bangarra Dance Theatre recreates her powerful story of vulnerability and searching in an era of confusion and intolerance.
Bangarra bases its creative spirit on Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander traditions and stories producing a powerful new language that combines that traditional and the contemporary. This potent, original and distinctive style tells the stories unifying the past and the present.
Bangarra's influence continues to resonate throughout the world with the company earning a prominent place on the international touring circuit. The company has performed in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, USA, Japan, China and New Zealand.
Around the world, audiences agree Bangarra experience is nothing short of mesmerising.
