Living Sculptures: How the Birds Got Their Colours

WA Premiere Performance Circus Dance

Imagination takes flight in Mullaloo.

Awe-inspiring and site-specific, Living Sculptures: How the Birds Got Their Colours is a dynamic and captivating performance of First Nations dance, storytelling, and contemporary circus, culminating in a living, breathing work of art against the backdrop of nature’s beauty.

Hear Aboriginal Elder Luther Cora’s interpretation of a simple story with a powerful message: while we may appear different, communicate differently, and have unique perspectives, at the core we share more in common than we have differences.

In this collaborative work from Arc Circus Co. and the Yugambeh Aboriginal Dancers, each performance of Living Sculptures: How the Birds Got Their Colours will be unique, with the artists moving responsively to the unique open-air environment they find themselves in, celebrating ‘place’ and forging connections with the land, sea, sky, and one another.

“Really, super impressive” – Audience Review

Then, don’t move a muscle because Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse, with Perth Symphony Strings will be treating audiences to a beautiful and moving musical performance of Noongar language songs in a beautiful conclusion to Living Sculptures: How the Birds Got Their Colours on its final night.

With the lovely warm weather, a beautiful park setting, heaps of local cafes, restaurants and a cracking pub, you don’t want to miss this unique event and chance for the whole family to enjoy an evening filled with incredible entertainment and community spirit.
