Join Georgia Van Gils in this site-specific performance that explores the mythos of the Mundrabilla Meteorite.
Meteor-i-bite is an evocative, site-specific performance that centres around the sanctity of the Mundrabilla Meteorite, an iconic state object at the WA Museum Boola Bardip.
This narrative exposes angry celestial spirits that possess and demand, exploring the intersections of earthly and universal elements. The performance seeks to rekindle connections to natural phenomena by engaging with the meteorite's mythos.
This work is performed by Kimberley Parkin, with live composition by Cameron Park, and directed by Georgia Van Gils as part of her STRUT + CO3 Fellowship.
Partners: Co3 Contemporary Dance & STRUT Dance
