Overview
Presented by Townsville Civic Theatre and Bangarra Dance Theatre
Horizon invites audiences into a sacred realm - a place between sea and sky, where the sun rises and falls and the light is new. This cross-cultural collaboration brings together leading Māori choreographer Moss Te Ururangi Patterson and acclaimed Bangarra alumna Deborah Brown, who guide an award-winning ensemble through stories that honour their mother countries and the spirit that calls them home.
Brown, a proud descendent of the Wakaid Clan and Meriam people in the Torres Strait with Scottish heritage, draws on the strength and resilience of her ancestors. Patterson, born near Lake Taupō and mokopuna of the Ngāti Tūwharetoa tribe, carries his sense of home like a living fire within him.
The work opens with Sani Townson's expanded Kulka, a vibrant homage to his Torres Strait heritage and his grandfather's legacy. Together, these pieces explore the cultural forces that bind us together, across oceans and eons. Experience the resilience of the First Peoples of the Oceania region, that extends across the continent now known as Australia, the Torres Strait Islands and Aotearoa, our southern neighbour.
