Synopsis

The Tjapukai Aboriginal Dance Theatre is a unique blend of ancient rainforest drama, contemporary didjeridoo music and modern comedy. PROUD TO BE covers their world tour from the deep south of America, the West End of London, multicultural Singapore to alternative Europe. The energy, humour and sheer tenacity of these Australian ambassadors comes together in a kaleidoscope of world impressions; and the pulsating rhythm of stamping feet beats out the stories of the Tjapukai.
