Description
Come & join the aboriginal people of Australia in an evening where you will learn about the Tjapukai Aboriginal culture and experience it in the most powerful and personal way. A fascinating journey that evokes the aboriginal spirit and power.
The Tjapukai aboriginal people will escort you into the Magic Space where the Quinkin spirits come to life taking you on a journey through the Storywaters into the Dreamtime. Thunder and lightning herald the Gadja, a Dreamtime spirit in glowing, UV fibre-optic costume. A good spirit, he tells of the past. Suddenly, his opposite appears from nowhere the Quinkin towers 6 meters above the audience, bidding them to enter the past.
In the haunting Lakeside Ceremony guests form part of the Rainbow Serpent Circle and share in an Aboriginal Celebration consisting of music, chanting and dance that culminates in a magical fire making ceremony. The fire is sent soaring across the lake to where it contacts with the ancient tribal lands to become a magical fireball, illuminating the lakeside and the audience. The Tjapukai appear in a flame lit canoe, arriving to meet the guests at lakeside
Tjapukai carrying the flamelit torch up to the nights dining venue The Boomerang Restaurant, guides guests through the darkness up to the glowing restaurant. Here the evening culminates in a sumptuous international buffet menu.
The lights dim and the Tjapukai take the stage, presenting their culture with their inimitable blend of theatre and humour.
Before departing explore the award winning Tjapukai Fine Art Gallery.
A memorable and not to be missed evening!
