SILENCE, a bold new dance work bringing Treaty to the forefront of all conversations

SILENCE is a powerful contemporary dance performance described as a politically and unapologetically raw dance work that pulls the unresolved conversations about Treaty from under the rug and slam them back on the table.

Choreographed by acclaimed artist and proud Minjungbal-Yugambeh, Wiradjuri and NiVanuatu man, Thomas E.S. Kelly, SILENCE is both a celebration of First Nations triumphs, as well as a searing commentary on Australian Nationhood at a time when the country is preparing to vote on The Voice to Parliament.

In a conversation with NITV Radio Thomas Kelly explained that the performance is anything but muted as it is about conversations not being heard and the responses that are muted. “Because the conversation around Treaty will never be silenced,” Mr Kelly said.
