Nyuntu Ngali (You We Two)
A production by Windmill and Big hART in association with Adelaide Festival Centre's Australian Stories Program



It is the 22nd Century in central Australia and humanity has farewelled the days of cars, ipods and mobile telephones. The industrial and technological culture that thrived for generations has ravaged our planet. Welcome to our post climate-change future, where our very survival depends on our ability to recover the traditional hunter-gatherer skills that we have lost. It’s time to get back to basics.

 

Despite the harsh environment of this post apocalyptic world, a beautiful and fragile love blossoms between Eva and Roam. Each has found a soul mate in the other but their joy will be short lived. Their wrong-skin marriage has placed them in terrible danger and they must run to escape the terrifying and unseen enemy that now threatens them.

 

This moving and powerful story of survival in both English and Pitjanjatjara is interspersed with sand storytelling, choreography, video art, shadow play, weaving and a highly atmospheric musical score.

 

Nyuntu Ngali is a collaboration between Windmill and the renowned Big hART, which also presented Ngapartji Ngapartji – performed at Belvoir Street in 2007.
