Marrow

Australian Dance Theatre's Marrow is a muscular dance work set on shared ground, where politics and identity are not our totality. A choreographic course correction for a nation searching for a new direction. Presented as part of Blakout, Marrow is a muscular dance work set on shared ground, where politics and identity are not our totality. Australian Dance Theatre's incredible ensemble tangles with layers of smoke and light to disassemble dominant cultural narratives and reveal the truth of the past. Marrow sees the Australian Dance Theatre delve deeper into the falsehoods and alienation at the core of our shared history. Bracingly honest, Marrow is a clear-eyed and powerful work that sifts through the smoky forms of our national conscience to imagine a new future that acknowledges the push of our present moment. A smoking ceremony for a country trapped by the past. This show is proudly part of Blakout. Blakout is a bold celebration of First Nations talent, shining a spotlight on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from Reconciliation Week to NAIDOC Week. Experience a deadly mix of music and dance, that brings powerful First Nations storytelling to life.
