A powerful dance work examines some of the reasons behind the shockingly high number of Aboriginal youth taking their own lives. It's about to premiere in Aotearoa.
Aboriginal dancer, Dalisa Pigram is performing Gudirr Gudirr as part of Auckland's Tempo Dance Festival.
Dalia is from Broome in Western Australia where efforts are being made to keep their language and culture alive. But, as she tells Lynn Freeman during a break in rehearsals, at the same time their young people are really struggling.
Dalisa Pigram will perform Gudirr Gudirr at Auckland's Q Theatre October 3, as part of the Tempo Dance Festival: Te Rerenga o Tere.
