Moving yet unmovable—colonised bodies become powerful sites of silent protest in the premiere of Joel Bray’s latest major dance work.
Muscular and sinewy, these are five fierce Brown women presenting themselves as an obstacle and as resistance. They are a monolith. An enormous ancient rock formation, coming together and apart. Sitting strong in the landscape, defying waves of colonisation, urbanisation and deforestation. Alive on a floating dystopian island, designed by artist Jake Preval. Dancing to delicate and driving beats by composer Matthias Shack-Arnott. Creating their own choreographic language.
This is an undeniable new work from Wiradjuri artist Joel Bray that echoes and honours generations of protest and rebellion.
