Wardarnji 2019

Sat 16 Nov 2019  |  6:30pm — 9:00pm  |  South Lawn

Wardarnji is a dynamic experience of Noongar dance and storytelling on our picturesque South Lawn. Let the beauty of the oldest songs, dances and language in the world transport you to another place, as fires burn long into the evening and people come together to celebrate Indigenous Australian culture. A highlight of this year’s Wardarnji will be the Story of the Wargyl who weaved through the land in the Dreamtime and created our waterways in Noongar country. The story will be narrated and performed by a giant Wargyl puppet.

Barefaced Stories: Music Edition

Thu 12 Dec 2019  |  7:00pm — 9:00pm  |  Inner Courtyard

Perth’s most popular live storytelling series Barefaced Stories lights up the Inner Courtyard for their Music Edition, a massive night of stories and song. Armed only with their true-life tales, each storyteller takes to the stage, strips it all back and wears their bloody, beating heart on their sleeve – some humorous, some sad, some downright bizarre! This one-off story telling and musical extravaganza features special guest musicians Lucy Peach and Ofa Fotu alongside fellow musicians and fascinating locals, all with true tales to tell.
