Bunyi Bunyi Bumi
 

Bunjil Place, in association with BlakDance, Asia TOPA and Arts Centre Melbourne, is thrilled to present the groundbreaking new commission Bunyi Bunyi Bumi at the Bunjil Place Studio from Thursday 20 to Sunday 23 February 2025.

Bunyi Bunyi Bumi replaces tired narratives of trade and Empire with truth, resistance, and resilience. Thrumming with dance, body percussion, syncopated rhythms, and stunning visuals, the performance unites Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, Tamil and Indonesian artists in a joyous rebuke of colonial amnesia.

This contemporary work uses immersive choreography to celebrate the interconnectedness of cultures.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
