AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Mes chers amis,

'Some things cannot be said with words. It’s be written on our bodies. Etched into our skin, our movements, our voices. There are these invisible restraints holding us in place. There’s a space beyond this moment, we know there is. A space beyond this instability, beyond this frustration. We must reconfigure power and embrace a transmission of old and new knowledge.

'This award-winning production from one Australia’s leading dance companies at the forefront of Intercultural work will move, exhilarate and challenge audiences.

'Inspired by the ongoing series of New Caledonia’s referendums on independence from France and Australia’s decades of debate over Indigenous recognition and treaty, Le Dernier Appel explores the aftermaths of colonisation, seeking what to embrace of the new and what to let fall. While governments debate, peoples born of invasion, migration and displacement, wait for the new day.'
