Presented by Karul Projects and Byron Theatre.My feet walk on land that is red blood soaked. Black burnt, yellow sun drenched country. Stories from thousands of years. Songs eternally kept on the wind and water.
Honoring lines that have been cut. Poisoned, shot and led to the cliff’s edge. Those who passed to the spirit world before their kin could arrive from the dreaming to continue a physical lineage.
Remembering the stories that remain unwritten and unspoken, returned to the earth and stars that they arrived from. Acknowledging that First Nations people are descendants of those who fought for land, family and identity. Not everyone continued to walk this physical world, many returned to the spirit world.
Kuramanunya honours them. Kuramanunya. The story is told.
"This show is powerful. It is thought-provoking, challenging, and vital. It deserves to be shown again and again." - Theatrereview (NZ)
In this solo dance theatre performance, Thomas E.S. Kelly (Minjungbal, Wiradjuri and Ni-Vanuatu) honours the fallen and the forgotten – those whose stories echo in red earth, wind, and water. This is one man's tribute to ancestral strength, spirit, and the enduring legacy of First Nations people.
