Marrugeku on Kaurna Country with Jurrungu Ngan-ga

After premiering in 2021 our indomitable production Jurrungu Ngan-ga [Straight Talk] has had sold out seasons nationally and internationally, playing to audiences on regional basketball courts to international stages.

Following over a year on tour, we were excited to bring the work to Kaurna Country for Adelaide Festival in March 2023. With four performances across three days, Jurrungu Ngan-ga’s Adelaide season was described as “A shining highlight of the 2023 Adelaide Festival” by Katherine Tamiko Arguile of InReview.

Katherine also said:

Utterly compelling, Jurrungu Ngan-ga [Straight Talk] is a potent portrayal of the play between power and oppression, and a powerful moment of truth-telling by those unjustly forced to the margins of society.

Read the full review as well as the Stage Whispers and Glam Adelaide reviews. Next stop for Jurrungu Ngan-ga is Black Swan Theatre in Perth from 15–23 September. Discover more and book.
