Under the star-illuminated skies of the Torres Strait, a green turtle navigates her way back to the beach where she was born. The nesting season has begun, and soon the island will welcome a new generation of hatchlings – among them, our small turtle friend, Migi.
Join Migi in Waru – Journey of the Small Turtle, Bangarra’s first dedicated work for children. This interactive and immersive performance introduces 3–7-year-olds to Torres Strait Islander culture and dance. Inspired by the totemic system of the green turtle, it's a contemporary saltwater Lagaw Kazil (Island Children) story.
Created by former Bangarra Artistic Director Stephen Page, along with Hunter Page-Lochard and Bangarra alumni dancers and choreographers Sani Townson and Elma Kris, Waru provides a unique opportunity to start conversations about climate change, caring for the environment, and traditional cultural values of respect and reciprocity.
