Ghenoa Gela: little sister, daughter, granddaughter, comic, teacher, rebel, gold-medallist, air-guitarist, charmer, TV star, Torres Strait mainlander, walking political statement.
My Urrwai is your invitation into the world of complex political, social, colonial and cultural expectations that Ghenoa navigates every day. A recipient of both the renowned Keir Choreographic Award and the Deadly Funny Melbourne International Comedy Festival Award, Ghenoa tells her unique story in movement and words, with humour and deep reflection.
Supported by a stellar team including director Rachael Maza (ILBIJERRI Theatre) and dramaturg Kate Champion, My Urrwai is spellbinding: a celebration of cultural and familial inheritance, and an unflinching commentary on race relations in Australia. It premiered at the 2018 Sydney Festival to audience and critical acclaim.
“My Urrwai is an absorbing, swiftly-moving, well-judged performance piece that sparks with intelligence”.
“ … Gela charms her crowd with vivid storytelling, self-deprecating humour and wide-open expressivity …”
“ … Ghenoa Gela and My Urrwai are jubilant rays of hope, undeniable in their brilliance”.
Originally co-produced by Belvoir and Performing Lines in association with ILBIJERRI Theatre and Sydney Festival.
