Australian dance first nations outfit Marrugeku is one of the most innovative and provocative dance theatre companies across the Tasman. 

For nearly 30 years they have been building bridges and breaking down walls between urban and remote dance communities and between Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists 

They are in New Zealand performing their new work Burrbgaja Yalirra 2, which is a collaboration between artists from northern Australian communities and those of maritime nations of Southeast Asia and Melanesia, with particular focus on New Caledonia and Vanuatu. 

Co-artistic director Dalisa Pigram joins Emile Donovan..
