Namatjira

Namatjira is a Big Hart production, created with the Namatjira Family

The rich watercolours of Albert Namatjira's story are transformed into a momentous theatrical event in Namatjira, a groundbreaking new Australian work by Scott Rankin starring Trevor Jamieson and Derik Lynch. Utilising Jamieson's elegant physicality, and the music of internationally renowned Genevieve Lacey, this story captures the intense beauty, depth, opportunism, mateship and injustice that has shaped your country. Namatjira is more than a night at the theatre; this is an experience of art, live on stage.

Before your eyes, the grandchildren of Albert Namatjira - third generation watercolour artists - assist with the re-telling of his life, filling the stage with a huge landscape drawing of their desert country.
