A powerful cross-cultural collaboration with ancient traditions of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander storytelling. Cultural songlines and music converge in a moment of transformation and journey through the pacific to the old chants of Samoa. Led by genre-defying ensemble Topology and dynamic Indigenous performing arts company Gaba Musik, this resonant performance brings together some of the most compelling voices in contemporary music: Jungaji, Deline Briscoe, Gaja Kerry, Kristal West, Yirrmal, Airileke and Taitu’uga Kitchener Weschega with his new project Seki Wayz. The Third Space is more than a performance: it is an invitation. We invite you to immerse yourself into an unbroken evening of captivating storytelling that transcends boundaries, carried through language, ceremony, identity and connection. There are no intervals, No applause breaks, no interruptions of the shared experience in the sacred space, evolving, moving, and alive. Follow our journey into The Third Space, A Sacred Space.
