FIRE by Bangarra Dance Company

Melbourne Arts Centre - Friday 13th November

20th Anniversary dance work of Indigenous Dance Comapny Bangarra

Here is a company that know exactly how to engage an audience through telling what they know and have experienced. An honest portrayal of civilisations effect on a culture that is thousands of years old.

A glimpse at their past and their future, you feel honoured to share in their stories and rituals. Of course the company approaches its traditions in a contemporary style making even the simplest of gestures develop into whole motifs.

Wild and instinctive, you understand just how much dance means to each of the dancers and their culture. You almost feel left out - that you don't have that past and connection with the earth, the world and each other.

This was one of the best dance pieces I have ever seen. The passion and technique of the dancers fills you full of emotion and their is a feeling of overwhelming.
