WORLDWIDE PREMIERE OF A UNIQUELY AUSTRALIAN JOURNEY THROUGH VIRTUAL REALITY & LIVE PERFORMANCE
Marking the opening night of Red Bull Music Academy Weekender in Sydney, VIA ALICE is a cross-cultural collaboration between American rapper and producer Khalif Diouf (Le1f) and indigenous Australian dancer and choreographer Waangenga Blanco.
In conjunction with producers Daniel Stricker (Midnight Juggernauts, Mind Gamers, Kirin J Callinan), and John Kirby (Mind Gamers, Blood Orange, Sebastian Tellier), Khalif and Waangenga will simultaneously collaborate with Indigenous communities in urban and regional centres on an original music composition to accompany this progressive visual journey. Informed via diverse performance backgrounds and passed down knowledge from community elders, the artistic collaboration takes viewers on a unique journey into Aboriginal culture. Through artistic collaboration, the meeting points between storytelling and dance - otherwise known within these communities as ‘songlines' - is told.
Taking place at Carriageworks this exclusive performance will run across four evenings, accompanied by a free virtual reality experience enabled by Samsung Gear VR, open to the public for the festival’s duration.
