Yuldea awakens the earth and sky worlds to tell the story of the Anangu people of the Great Victorian Desert.
This major new work explores the moment traditional life collided with the industrial ambition of a growing nation. In 1917, the two halves of the Transcontinental Railway met at the precious water soak on the edge of the Nullarbor, Yuldi Kapi.
Yuldea features original music by Leon Rodgers with featured songs by multi-award-winning duo Electric Fields. Designers Elizabeth Gadsby (Set), Jennifer Irwin (Costume) and Karen Norris (Lighting) create a desert world on stage.

WILAY PROGRAM
Bangarra’s Wilay program enables Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander school students to access the education performance, at a discounted price. The performance is followed by an ‘In Conversation’ with some of the dancers and creatives. Wilay allows us to build a relationship with the next generation of those who share the rich culture and history that is sewn through our storytelling; it’s important to pass these stories down. To book, email our Education team at education_riverside@cityofparramatta.nsw.gov.au. Please note that Wilay tickets are for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students aged 10 and over and their accompanying teachers only. Tickets are limited, book early to avoid disappointment.
