Le Dernier Appel / The Last Cry

A Marrugeku Production

Director: Serge Aimé Coulibaly, Co-choreographers: Dalisa Pigram and Serge Aimé Coulibaly

This award-winning production from one of Australia’s leading dance companies at the forefront of Intercultural work will move, exhilarate and challenge audiences.

Inspired by the ongoing series of New Caledonia’s referendums on independence from France and Australia’s decades of debate over Indigenous recognition and treaty, Le Dernier Appel explores the aftermaths of colonisation, seeking what to embrace of the new and what to let fall. While governments debate, peoples born of invasion, migration and displacement, wait for the new day...tomorrow.

Mes chers amis,

Some things are said without words. They are written with our bodies. Etched into our skin, spoken with our movements, our voices. There are invisible restraints holding us in place. There’s a space beyond this moment, we know there is.

There’s a space beyond this instability, beyond this frustration.

With Love
