Drawing from Mirning woman and Bangarra’s Artistic Director and Co-CEO, Frances Rings’ choreographic career, FuturesPast embodies the spirit, artistry, and strength that have defined Bangarra’s work for 37 years.
FuturesPast carries audiences from the dawn of time, through a cycle of belonging that transcends generations. The work is structured in three acts; Old World, People, and Country - journeys through the significant impacts that have challenged Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, honouring the spirit of resilience that has shaped their survival.
Featuring sections from Rings’ past works Artefect (2010), Terrain (2012), and Yuldea (2023), this is a showcase of Australia’s finest contemporary dance, rich cultural history, and is a transformative experience for all.
