Living Sculptures: How the birds got their colours
Let your imagination take flight.
Living Sculptures: How the birds got their colours, is a stunning, Indigenous-led, contemporary performance piece fusing traditional First Nations dance, storytelling and contemporary circus. The work is a beautiful re-telling of the traditional Dreamtime story, which explores themes of belonging and delivers a powerful message of togetherness. While celebrating difference, the story teaches us that at our core, we share a common bond.
Hosted outdoors in the Brisbane Festival Village, with the moving interplay between the Brisbane River and the sky above as a backdrop, this performance is perfect for all ages. A collaboration between ARC Circus and Luther Cora and his team from Yugambeh Aboriginal Dancers.
