A powerful declaration of survival and belonging shared through cultural and contemporary First Nations dance stories, vibrant projections and an emotionally charged soundscape of song and live voices.
ATI goes beyond narrative; it is a profound portrayal of Australia’s history marked by greed, guilt, violence and injustice. The work delves deep into the impact of inequitable systems and processes on First Nations people, families and communities. At the heart of this production lies the power of reciprocal connection to ancestral land, and the evocative spirit of Country alive and healing. ATI leaves an indelible impression on hearts and minds as it weaves together stories, memories, and timeless connection to First Nations Culture and Country.
