Following the success of their 2022 show Waŋa, NT Dance Company offer a powerful, moving dance duet that navigates the limits of physical expression.

Choreographed by Gary Lang, this international, cross-cultural collaboration with Northumbria University (UK) communicates a story of the Stolen Generations’ trauma. With care & compassion, it poses questions about relationships between country of origin, identity, adoption, the criminal justice system and psychological health.

The Other Side of Me translates into dance the true-life story of a young Aboriginal man, born in the 1960s in the Northern Territory, adopted by a white English family and raised in a remote hamlet in the United Kingdom. Drawing on a collection of personal letters and poems, it offers insights into the mind of a man struggling to re-evaluating his life in light of his and First Nations Australian origins on the other side of the world.
