Namatjira is another groundbreaking new Australian work by Tasmania’s own Scott Rankin (Drive in Holiday, Box the Pony, Certified Male, Stickybricks). He teams up once again here with Trevor Jamieson, following their national sell-out sensation Ngapartji Ngapartji, to bring us the deeply moving story of Albert Namatjira. In their sure hands, we are taken on a journey, at turns deeply compelling and hilarious. The rich watercolours of Namatjira’s story are transformed into a momentous theatrical event, and have already brought audiences to their feet night after night at the Belvoir Street Theatre.
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 our country. Namatjira is more than a night at the theatre; this is an experience of art, live on stage.
