Inspired by a young girl’s journey between two cultures, Mathinna traces the history of a young Tasmanian Aboriginal girl removed from her traditional life, adopted into Western Colonial society and ultimately returned to the fragments of her original heritage. Mathinna became the archetype of the ‘stolen child’ and, in this brand new work, Bangarra Dance Theatre recreates her powerful story of vulnerability and searching in an era of confusion and intolerance.
