Jandamarra: the play

Jandamarra is a legend of the Bunuba people. He led one of the longest and most successful campaigns to defend Aboriginal country in Australian history before being gunned down while still in his twenties. Following Jandamarra’s journey into manhood, his attempts to escape his family and culture, and his subsequent return to the Bunuba people where he became their leader, Jandamarra seamlessly combines traditional storytelling, dance and song in a culturally illuminating, emotionally stirring and linguistically captivating reimagining of his story.
