Immerse yourself in stories of Country under the stars at Yagan Square as Ngaank Boodja (Mother Country) comes to life through a moving showcase of song, language, dance and light.

Presented in the lead up to National Reconciliation Week, Ngaank Boodja: Stories of Country in Movement and Lights invites audiences on a journey through time – bringing to life stories of the Noongar people who once gathered at the ancient wetlands that lie beneath Yagan Square.

Through choirs, powerful visuals and song, audiences will hear stories of Goologoolup – once the heart of community life. A place where Noongar women gathered at the water’s edge, where children splashed, birds flew overhead and frogs croaked in the reeds.

Taking place at the Yagan Square Amphitheatre, this special event is a powerful celebration of Aboriginal culture and creativity. The event is produced by award-winning Noongar filmmaker, producer and cultural leader Karla Hart, with performances from Madjitil Moorna Choir, led by Della Rae and Kobi Morrison, WAAPA trained performers and Indigenous dance groups Kwarbah Djookian and Midn Marr.

Ngaank Boodja: Stories of Country in Movement and Lights is proudly supported by DevelopmentWA and Tourism WA.
