A DOUBLE BILL ? EMERET LU + X300

From Washington and New York to Beijing and London, Bangarra Dance Theatre Company is acknowledged as one of Australia's most exciting contemporary dance companies. Inspired by two diverse Indigenous cultures, 2008 sees the company back at the Adelaide Festival Centre to presentits dynamic work - True Stories.

Emeret Lu (very Old Things) - the passion and energy of the traditional people of the Torres Strait Islands. Choreographer Elma Kris explores her people's love of the land, the sea and their unique culture with exuberance handed down from generation to generation.

X300 ? the code name for the 1950s atomic test site in Maralinga, Tjarutja traditional lands. Frances Rings' new work powerfully and spectacularly explores a landscape assumed vacant but which in reality became a contaminated desert which poisoned the people.
