Summary
Inspired by a girl's journey between two cultures, Mathinna traces the history of an Aboriginal girl removed from her traditional life, adopted into western colonial society to be ultimately returned to the fragments of her original heritage. Mathinna became the archetype of the 'stolen child' and in this work, Bangarra Dance Theatre creates her powerful story of vulnerability and searching in an era of confusion and intolerance. Filmed at the Theatre Royal, Hobart in 2010, this video includes an interview with Artistic Director Stephen Page about the inspiration and creative processes informing the work. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, especially Lola Greeno and Vicki Matson Green.
