Bukuminkum explained in 3 minutes

A 3 minute summary on the Bukuminkum project.
Bukuminkum (forgotten face) is a new full-length dance production by Gary Lang’s NT Dance Company (NTDC). Lang’s contemporary choreographic style, ‘Aboriginal Ballet’ is renowned for embracing both classical ballet and traditional Aboriginal dance. His diverse audiences are lovers of ballet, contemporary dance, Indigenous culture, operatic, classical music and more. Fans of Giselle will be thrilled and fascinated by this modern, Indigenous retelling of this tragic story.
Betrayed and forgotten by family and by colleagues, Guypuŋura, wanders her homeland, seemingly lost and mad, trying to find her spirit again. Bukuminkum is an adaptation of Giselle’s second act into an Indigenous Australian context by NT Dance Company’s Artistic Director, Gary Lang, senior Larrakia choreographer.
Bukuminkum is an exceptional concept, born of a true story about the origins of the contemporary Indigenous aesthetic that we see today and how the owner of that ICIP is unrecognised.
