As dusk settles on the banks of the Murray River, a strange light appears on the horizon. It is bright and it is moving! The community is thrown in confusion, but among some it is replaced by intrigue; What is it? What does it want? How do we tell others about it?
This is the starting premise of Min Min, the latest work for Kurruru Youth Performing Arts and the first work to be created by new Artistic Director, Deon Hastie.
Working with performers from Kurruru's Dance Ensemble as well as with local artists, young people and Aboriginal community members from Murray Bridge, Min Min explores the unexplainable and mysterious natural occurrences of the river.
Informed by the stories of the Ngarrindjeri people, Min Min will ask audiences to see into the relationship Aboriginal people have with country, and how an Aboriginal perspective offers explanations to every event, often different from that of mainstream science.
Under Deon's direction Min Min will present the concept of the unknown and unanswered through contemporary dance and other artforms.
The premiere performance of Min Min features as part of the Ripples Murray Bridge - Regional Centre of Culture program, a year-long program of arts activities, performances and creative ideas centered on the regional city of Murray Bridge.
Min Min will be presented on Friday 24 September, Saturday 25 September and Sunday 26 September, outdoors at the Pomberuk Cultural Centre, 1 Wharf Road (Beneath the Road Bridge), MURRAY BRIDGE.
