Marrow

Overview

A choreographic course correction for a nation searching for a new direction.

Set on a shared ground where politics and identity are not the totality, Marrow is a muscular dance work that sees Australian Dance Theatre's incredible ensemble tangle with layers of smoke and light to disassemble dominant cultural narratives and reveal the truth of the past.

Created by Daniel Riley in collaboration with ADT's Company Artists, senior Kaurna/Ngarrindjeri Elder Uncle Moogy Sumner AM, composer James Howard (SAVAGE), Matthew Adey (THE HUM) and Ailsa Patterson (Tracker), Marrow sees the company delve deeper into the falsehoods and alienation at the core of shared history.

Bracingly honest, Marrow is a clear-eyed and powerful work that sifts through the smoky forms of national conscience to imagine a new future that acknowledges the push of the present moment.
