Tjaabi Flood Country

About
Stories and sounds of the PilbaraTjaabi–Flood Country is a celebration of country and culture in song, word and vision, led by Ngarluma man Patrick Churnside.
Raw, gripping and intensely moving, Patrick’s remarkable life is shared through breathtaking music, profoundly personal narrative and humour that cuts to the bone.
Tjaabi – Flood Country presents a sophisticated portrait of Pilbara life, capturing the many pressures Aboriginal people face amidst the ever-increasing pursuit for minerals and ore.
Ten years in the making, this work is an intercultural sharing, reflecting a hopeful future of cultural exchange and dialogue, with Patrick’s story at the centre.
Created in collaboration with award-winning writer and director Scott Rankin, (Namatjira, Ngapartji Ngapartji, Hipbone Sticking Out) and scored and performed with composer and musician Aaron Hopper.
