'Gudirr Gudirr lights a path from broken past to fragile present, and on to a future still in the making. Gudirr Gudirr calls a warning, the guwayi bird calls when the tide is turning — to miss the call is to drown. An intimate solo dance and video work performed by Dalisa Pigram, daughter of Broome. By turns hesitant, restless, resilient and angry, Gudirr Gudirr lights a path from a broken past through a fragile present and on to a future still in the making.' (Source: Marrugeku website)

'Gudirr Gudirr is a one-woman show by Dalisa Pigram named after the warning call of the Guwayi bird. When a warning is heard there are two possible outcomes - act upon it or miss it. To miss the call of the Guwayi bird is to drown.' (Introduction)
