About the work
SAND is a breathtaking performance fusing First Nations storytelling and dance with dynamic Taiko drumming, stunning projection and poetic language.
SAND is an original performance work that fuses First Nations storytelling from Terangeree (Minjerribah/Stradbroke Island) with the powerful Japanese Taiko drumming and musicality of Taikoz (Sydney), intricate projections from globally acclaimed Good Company Arts (New Zealand), and Belloo’s (Brisbane) award-winning, fluid storytelling.
Renowned for their ability to seamlessly blend global narratives with local wisdom, Belloo have drawn inspiration from Japan and the rich narratives of Quandamooka Country, guided by local Elder Uncle Norman Enoch, to take audiences on an epic poetic journey right to the heart of Straddie.
Incorporating a dynamic ensemble of live and digital performers, SAND is a breathtaking and spectacular production, defying convention and igniting the senses in a celebration of coming home and the inherent beauty of our natural world.
SAND explores our planet’s shifting sands and oceans and is an ode to the natural world, exploring the elemental forces of nature and celebrating the beauty of impermanence.
come closer to the sand’s ebb and flow
and you’ll see each grain is different
belonged once to something proud and separate
now joined together
matter that can be poured from hand to hand
no countries
no borders
no animal mineral vegetable
just sand
