The playful theatre and puppetry tale packed with spirit and humour, Wulamanayuwi and the Seven Pamanui will delight young and old at Nambour Civic Centre on Tuesday 11 March at 6pm and Wednesday 12 March 2014 at 10:30am.
Originally produced by the Darwin Festival, and toured by Performing Lines for Blak Lines, this play uses the language and rhyme of the Tiwi Islands north of Darwin, to tell the story of a young girl called Wulamanayuwi (pronounced “Wool–a–man–aye–you”), and her experiences with the spirit-beings of a mystical, dreamtime land.
Playwright Jason de Santis and Director Eamon Flack bring a Tiwi twist to an old favourite to create a modern Aboriginal adventure story, inspired by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Wulamanayuwi and the Seven Pamanui is a joyful romp through a familiar tale of myth, magic and adventure. Narrated by Jarparra, the Moon Man, join Wulamanayuwi, daughter of a Tiwi warrior, on her journey to rescue her seven little brothers transformed by Jirrakilala, her evil stepmother into seven mischievous spirits, the seven Pamanui.
Wulamanayuwi inhabits a visually stunning world of fantasy, full of spirit-beings, bush creatures and mischievous water spirits. Workshops in puppet making will be on offer for young people and schools. Teacher resources are available for local schools to deliver a workshop program in the weeks leading up to the performance.
