Bangarra Dance Theatre Brings The Light Inside to Newcastle
There is a place between sea and sky – a sacred realm where the sunrises and falls, and the light is new.
After its acclaimed premiere in 2024 as part of the national tour of Horizon, Australia’s leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander performing arts company, Bangarra Dance Theatre, brings its first cross-cultural collaboration, The Light Inside, to Civic Theatre Newcastle on 20 and 21 February as part of its 2025 Regional Tour.
Māori choreographer and Arts Laureate Moss Te Ururangi Patterson joins beloved Bangarra alumna Deborah Brown to guide the company’s award-winning ensemble in stories honouring their mother countries and the spirit that guides them home.
The Light Inside celebrates the First Peoples of the Oceania region, spanning the continent now known as Australia, the Torres Strait Islands and our southern neighbour, Aotearoa. This story of resilience explores the cultural forces that bind us together across oceans and eons.
