This February, Marrugeku will be pitching its powerful new work, Ngurragabu, at the Australian Performing Arts Market (APAM) in Boorloo/Perth. Marrugeku is looking forward to sharing its new work with fellow artists, producers and presenters from across Australia and the world at APAM. Ngurragabu continues Marrugeku’s bold intercultural practice, bringing urgent First Nations storytelling to the contemporary stage.
Ngurragabu [from the last night/next/tomorrow] is a speculative reckoning with the polycrisis of climate catastrophe, untethered machine learning and greed. Performed as a continuously evolving procession, inspired by the survival of those who have already faced end times, Ngurragabu stages a provocation of relocation, adaptation and repair in the face of volatile change. Audiences are immersed in the oscillations of Northwest Australia’s land and sea Country. Seated within a spectacular petrified mangrove forest the viewers are personally entangled in the works ode to connectivity. Now, at this defining time in history, Ngurragabu rewilds connections between performance, Peoples and place to remember the future of transformation and repair at the precipice of survival.
