Bangarra Dance Theatre: Bennelong

Created by Artistic Director Stephen Page in 2017, Bennelong explores the life of one of history’s most iconic Aboriginal figures. Woollarawarre Bennelong was a senior man of the Eora people, who led his community to survive a clash of cultures.

Recorded in the Drama Theatre, 2017

After a triumphant national tour, a sell-out season at Adelaide Festival, 2 successful regional tours, 7 Helpmann Awards and a season this year at Sydney Coliseum Theatre, West HQ, Bennelong returns to Sydney Opera House as part of From Our House to yours. Through striking dance language, soul-stirring soundscapes and exquisite design, Bangarra unpacks Bennelong’s legacy and its reverberation through contemporary Australian life.
