Don't miss the opportunity to gather at the Beemunnel tonight for Gibaymbi-li: Giving back to our Elders in reverse! ๐
Tickets available at the gate, or 123-Tix (link in Comments). Gates open 6pm - meal and chairs provided. BYO drinks (no alcohol allowed).
"Join us for a powerful immersive experience! A narrative of Wayilwan stories, shared by our young mob through song and dance, Gibaymbi-li celebrates Wayilwan Country. Gibaymbi-li is a Wayilwan word which is translated as 'giving back in return'. We are giving back to our Elders a shared experience to bring us together at The Beemunnel, a special place for our mob. Guest artists Castlereagh Connection and Kelsey Iris will also bring their talent to help us grow together.
While seated around campfires the audience has a multi-sensory experience, enabling them to engage deeply with the stories of our local Elders and cultural knowledge holders. Understandings of Country grow as the audience is immersed in light, sound and imagery. Waterbirds, our waterways and marshes are part of Language and Country. Puppetry and art are also used to share concepts of Country to grow appreciation.
Art by Wayilwan artists reminds the audience of our Wayilwan ancestors as masterful designers. Art featured includes that by Uncle Sooty Welsh and Peter Mackay.
The performance is approximately 75 minutes in duration. A warm camp oven meal is served afterwards.
You will leave with a sense of awe and wonder, knowing you have been a part of something bigger than yourself.
This event is funded by Create NSW - Cultural Access program, NSW Aboriginal Languages Trust - Aboriginal Language Revitalisation program, Aboriginal Children's Advancement Society and Warraan Widji Arts!"
