RISING: Monolith Tickets
About RISING: Monolith
Muscular and sinewy, these are five fierce Brown women presenting themselves as an obstacle and as resistance. They are a monolith. An enormous ancient rock formation, coming together and apart. Sitting strong in the landscape, defying waves of colonisation, urbanisation and deforestation. Alive on a floating dystopian island, designed by artist Jake Preval. Dancing to delicate and driving beats by composer Matthias Shack-Arnott. Creating their own choreographic language.
This is an undeniable new work from Wiradjuri artist Joel Bray that echoes and honours generations of protest and rebellion.
