"An unflinching call to action in poem, dance, song and dreams."
In Marrugeku’s raw and evocative work Cut the Sky, the earth is on the brink, poisoned by mining and the extraction of gas. A kangaroo-human is consumed by smoke, spiraling butterflies search for water while humans live precariously, unmoored in a dark, dystopian world. They seek shelter, survival and answers.
Told through poem, song, and visionary choreography, Cut the Sky is a lament for Indigenous lands, a call to reconnect, restore and an acknowledgement of those who have spoken up before.
A Ragtag of climate refugees, grapple with the ruination of land and sky across time in the northwest of Australia. Shape-shifting through crocodiles who once were human, memories of protests past and contemporary conflicts of consumption they summon their dreams and nightmares to bring the rain. Together they cut the sky, soaking skin and dirt.
"It leads to an astonishing finale that evokes both catastrophe and plenty" - Alison Croggon, ABC Arts
