Attending an arts festival is about being one person amongst
many, and getting involved in conversations with friends,
visitors, artists and strangers. An audience is like a secret
society, taking part in a collective experience in a darkened
room or under the stars.
This year’s experiences have been designed for audiences of
all ages and artistic tastes. Australian pianist Tamara-Anna
Cislowska will take audiences on an extraordinary journey
through an eclectic piano repertoire. Our latest late-night
addition Club Awi has DJs and MCs taking over Happy Yess.
And we’re back at The Rails with another very cool collection
of musicians in the Festival Lounge. For the younger arts lovers
we have a mini festival at Festival Park, as well as a range of
top quality Australian and international performances created
especially for young audiences.
We’re determined to challenge and provoke as well as entertain
you this year, with our Words & Ideas program, extraordinary
theatre from Ireland alongside our own award-winning Broken
and a chance to create your own perfect society with Gobyerno
from Manila’s Sipat Lawin Ensemble. And we’re celebrating the
last weekend at the Festival with one huge 'arty' party where
anything could happen – and probably will.

Darwin Festival is a key highlight on the
FestivalsNT calendar and an important part
of the Northern Territory Government’s plan
to have a greater focus on Asian engagement
and deliver on our Confident Culture agenda.
That is why the Government is pleased
to support the Festival, which boasts more
than 150 events including outdoor concerts,
theatre, dance, music, comedy, cabaret and
visual arts.
Enjoy a great Darwin Festival. There is
nothing in the world quite like it.
There’s no better time to be in our city
than during Darwin Festival. The sense of
community that surrounds this event is
something special and sets it apart from
other festivals. I love the fact that so much
of Darwin Festival happens outside, beneath
our perfect dry season skies, when our
familiar spaces morph into vibrant venues.
Council is incredibly proud to continue
to support this awesome Festival showcasing
international, regional and home-grown
talent. Over the years so many of my
favourite Festival shows have been by local
performers and I can’t wait to see what’s in
store this year. It’s sure to be a real treat.
Welcome to Darwin Festival 2016 and the
delights of this year’s program. There’s a
great selection of music, theatre and dance
with performers coming from overseas,
interstate and, of course, our own Territory
talent. There are shows that will make you
laugh, others to make you think. Our unique
dinners are on again and so is the annual
feast of visual arts. A special focus this year
is entertainment for young children: events
that are fun, accessible and affordable.
A big thanks to all those whose support
makes Darwin Festival possible: the Northern
Territory Government; City of Darwin; our
corporate sponsors, both long term and new;
our donors; our friends; and, of course, you,
our audience.
A final thanks to the Darwin Festival
team, whose energy and commitment over
the year bring us these wonderful 18 days in
August. Enjoy.

Darwin Festival’s opening night of

as we bring you one incredible
free concert under the stars
SANTOS
OPENING
NIGHT
CONCERT
Starring
SARAH BLASKO
and NABARLEK
The Santos Opening Night Concert has long been a
highlight on the Darwin music calendar, and this year’s
line-up is an absolute winner. With Western Arnhem Land’s
Nabarlek and Australian megastar songstress Sarah Blasko
sharing the bill, this free event is a must for all music lovers.
So bring the family and join us on Thursday 4 August to
officially welcome in this year’s Festival.
Hailing from the tiny outstation of Manmoyi in Western
Arnhem Land, Nabarlek, the garage band that never had
a garage, has been leading the musical charge from the
bush for more than 20 years. Their rock, reggae, country
and gospel-inspired music reflects the ancient stories and
customs of the ‘rock country’ people from their homelands.
Fresh from touring her latest album around the country
and throughout the UK and Europe, Sarah Blasko brings
her beguiling voice, poignant lyrics and ravishing melodies
to The Amphitheatre. Our opening night concert offers a
unique opportunity to see this renowned songwriter and
spectacular performer live – and for free! Her latest album
explores new musical terrain, but there’ll be plenty of old
favourites to enjoy too in this incredible musical celebration
to open the 2016 Darwin Festival.

headquarters for a festival within
a festival, with artistic encounters
just waiting to be discovered in
every nook and cranny.
Your entry ticket gives you
access to a multitude of popup performances and random
happenings from every possible
artform – and some you didn’t
even think possible. Enter through

positive change shines through in a selection of
moving music – and music to move to. The folkinspired melodies and distinctive soulful singing
of Ego Lemos blends perfectly with B2M’s Tiwi

rejoice as one of Australia's
most acclaimed pianists
performs three intimate
and exquisite recitals
BU Y T I C KE TS :
Tamara-Anna Cislowska has graced the great
concert halls of the world, shared her innate
sensitivity and interpretive powers with the
finest orchestras and received critical acclaim
for her numerous musical recordings. Now she is
bringing her brilliant and wide-ranging talent to
the Darwin Entertainment Centre Studio stage.
The nocturne makes a welcome return
to the Festival when Tamara is joined onstage
by Irish diplomat and wit Richard O'Brien. John
Field: Inventing ‘Night Music’ shines a spotlight
on the life and music of Irish composer and
pianist John Field, whose Nocturnes influenced
Chopin, Schumann and Liszt. Expect sublime
music full of longing and lament in a program of
music by Field, Chopin, Tchaikowsky and more.
Peter Sculthorpe spent his life moulding
and shaping an Australian sound. He visited
Darwin many times and several of his most
iconic works are directly inspired by the
Territory. Tamara was Sculthorpe’s personal
choice to record his complete piano works
and she won an ARIA Award for her 2015
double album of his compositions. For Peter
Sculthorpe: Musical Landscapes, she is joined
by violinist Véronique Serret for a personal
exploration of their favourite pieces by this
musical visionary.
The enigmatic, esoteric and otherworldly sensibilities of Satie, Debussy, Pärt
and Gorecki pervade The Persian Hour.
Get yourself a drink, settle in and abandon
expectations as Tamara, a collection of rare
and familiar composers and a Steinway take
you on a musical journey of discovery that
reaches beyond the everyday and into the
spirit realm.

Take a musical journey west to the multicultural
pearling town of Broome with one of its
favourite sons – Stephen Pigram. For 35 years
this talented singer-songwriter and musician
has epitomised Broome music, whether that’s
performing with his siblings in the Pigram
Brothers band, as a member of the seminal ‘80s
bands Kuckles and Scrap Metal, as a feature
artist in the Black Arm Band or writing music
for theatre and film, including the original
production of Bran Nue Dae and Mad Bastards.
Stephen is stepping out solo at this year’s
Darwin Festival to present his fingerpickin’ folk
and country blues snapshots of life in the last
frontier. Armed with guitar, six-string ukulele,
harmonica, stompbox and his own velvet-gravel
voice, he takes us on a journey through Broome
music with original songs from his debut CD
Wanderer and cult classics drawn from his
incredible career.

GOBYERNO
In this election-filled year it’s tempting to
switch off every time you hear the word
government. But Darwin Festival is offering
you the chance to be re-energised by the
idea, with a fun and thought-provoking
interactive theatre experience. If, as it’s
said, you get the government you deserve,
why not get involved in making the type of
government you actually want? Create your
own utopia with Gobyerno!
Gobyerno (from the Filipino word for
‘government’) is the latest creation from
the internationally acclaimed Manila-based
performance company Sipat Lawin Ensemble.
In this participatory theatre performance
you join other participants to plan the ideal
government, create your own ruling bodies
and develop a national constitution. Gobyerno
offers a unique opportunity to think deeply
about how you’d like to see a country set
up and run, and to actually get involved in
making it all happen.
Join a variety of experts – urban
planners, education practitioners, scientists,
development workers, artists and perhaps
even some local politicians – to reconceive
social institutions and create the alternatives
you’d like to see, even if it’s just for a day! It’s
a playful, imaginative event tackling some
of life’s most important issues with a great
sense of fun. And that’s a core promise.
Gobyerno provides an engaging and
illuminating look at our society and the
way we govern it. Sign up and get hands
on building new cities, systems, stories and
visions for this new society.
Not happy with the government of the day?

Fifteen years ago in a small Irish town, four
women decided to die. Over 40 days they
prepared themselves for the end, destroying
every trace of their existence. We weren’t there.
We have no idea what they said. This is not
their story.
From Dead Centre, one of Ireland’s
most exciting theatre companies, comes
the Australian premiere of Lippy. This
extraordinarily powerful production has taken
the international theatre world by storm,
stunning critics and scooping the awards pool
wherever it has been seen.
Inspired by a harrowing real-life mystery,
Lippy is the antithesis of the classic detective
story with its satisfying solutions. Playing with
narrative form and discarding the whys and
wherefores, it taunts the audience with our
ultimate lack of insight into the lives of others.
Dead Centre’s award-winning production
brings together fragments of tragic true
events in a haunting and unforgettable way.
The combination of humour, disturbing
imagery and disconcerting ideas makes for an
unconventional play that pushes at the limits of
theatre. Lippy is quite simply “like nothing else
you’ll see” (Irish Times).

A car crash in the Central Desert. A broken
man, about to leave his wife. An isolated
woman, struggling to stay intact. Broken, the
award-winning play from local playwright Mary
Anne Butler, entwines the stories of three
complex lives as they unfold on a single fateful
night in the heart of the Northern Territory’s
desert country.
A distinctively Territory work with a
universal theme, Broken wrestles with matters
of chance, choice, hope and fate. Poetic,
visceral and extremely moving, this haunting
story of resilience and survival takes you into
the heart of its characters and the Australian
landscape, offering up a devastatingly fresh
look at our national identity.
Broken is the first play ever to receive
Australia’s richest literary prize, the Victorian
Prize for Literature, in 2016. It was also the
winner of the 2016 Victorian Premier’s Literary
Award for Drama, the 2014 NT Literary Award
for Best Script and was shortlisted for the
2016 Nick Enright Prize for Playwriting at the
NSW Premier’s Literary Awards and the 2014
Griffin Theatre Award. If you missed last year's

experience, this is your chance to see what

Contemporary dance, percussion and multimedia
come together for one sublime performance by
world-renowned Indonesian dancer Rianto
Following last year’s much talked about
production, the powerful and evocative
Cry Jailolo, Darwin Festival is again giving
local audiences the chance to see the very
best of Indonesian contemporary dance in
a spectacular world premiere. Medium sees
one of the world’s most in-demand talents,
Rianto, return to his homeland of Banyumas
in Central Java to collaborate with Indonesia’s
leading filmmaker, Garin Nugroho, on a very
personal work.
Rianto is known internationally for
combining the traditional and contemporary
in a stunning dance style that explodes
with strength, agility, grace and elegance. A
specialist in the Central Javanese dance form
‘Lengger’, he gives this erotic cross-gender
classical dance a contemporary makeover
in Medium. Traditional values and current
issues clash in this exquisite combination
of spectacular physical feats, vivid imagery
and powerful percussion. Medium is Rianto’s
universal call for freedom, for eschewing dogma
and embracing the contradiction, mysteries
and layered diversity that is at the heart of
Javanese tradition.
An international collaboration with
Belgium's deSingel Internationale Kunstcampus,
Germany’s Hessisches Staatsballett and Darwin
Festival, Medium has its world premiere in
Darwin at the start of a global tour that will take
the dance world by storm.

One of the greatest front
men in Australian rock
is back onstage and
ready to take on The
Amphitheatre
Legendary Midnight Oil singer Peter Garrett
has been out of the music limelight for nearly
15 years. Now he’s back with brand-new
music, a debut solo album and the support
of an awesome band. This is Peter Garrett as
you’ve never heard him – performing a raw
selection of frank and fearless songs. Sure,
there’ll be his trademark tunes of relentless
resistance with, as ever, a steely eye on a
better future, but this time around fans can
also expect songs of love, songs of home and
sweet memories.
A Version of Now is the first-ever solo
album from the former politician and lead
singer of one of Australia’s most successful
bands. In true Peter Garrett style it is made
up of an uncompromisingly direct set of tunes
reflecting on his motives, his losses and gains
and his unwavering resolve. He performs it
live with The Alter Egos – guitarist Martin
Rotsey (Midnight Oil), bassist Mark Wilson (Jet)
and drummer Peter Luscombe (RockWiz,
Paul Kelly) with Rosa Agostino on keyboards
and acclaimed West Australian blues
chanteuse Abbe May adding extra guitars.
The show kicks off with a performance
from the Territory’s latest singing sensation
Gawurra, a musician whose stunning debut
album Ratja Yaliyali has been commanding
attention across the nation. Then Peter Garrett
& The Alter Egos take to the stage in a specially
configured Amphitheatre for an exclusive and
magical musical evening. With strictly limited
tickets available to this one-off event, you’ll
need to get in quick to secure yours.

brand-new show. TWENTYSIXTEEN is classic
Circus Oz – absurd Australian larrikins pushing
the boundaries of possibility and defying the
laws of physics.
A refreshing cocktail of new and old, the
innovative and the traditional, TWENTYSIXTEEN
is a jaw-dropping, death-defying, daredevil show
for all ages. An eclectic mix of incredible
skills, ridiculous characterisation, hilarious
mayhem and fabulous live music, this show is
a celebration of Australia’s favourite circus.
It’s cheeky, irreverent and most of all fun!
For more than 35 years the
company has brought breathtaking feats
and good old-fashioned Aussie humour to
audiences across the country and around the
globe. With Circus Oz, nothing is impossible
and everything is extraordinary.
SECOND
CITY
STORIES
One of the world’s most remarkable
storytellers is heading to Darwin. Polarbear,
aka Steve Camden, comes from a family of
talkers – people who can pull you in and take
you with them. He has turned this talent for
telling a tale into a successful career, touring
the world and moving audiences with just
the power of his words.
Second City Stories is a very personal
collection of spoken word pieces written over
the last 10 years. Drawing on his hip-hop
roots, Polarbear paints lyrical pictures of a
boy growing up in a no-nonsense house into
a man still trying to figure things out.

THE GUARDIAN (FOR I THINK I CAN)
Settle in for a story… A girl lived on an island
in the middle of the ocean and, although she
had been told that the island was all there was,
she couldn’t help wondering about what else
might be out there. So one day she set out to
discover the world for herself.
In Terrapin Puppet Theatre’s latest
creation, a narrator reads Finegan Kruckemeyer's
story of this adventurous girl, while a musician
plays and cartoonist Badiucao draws pictures
in his idiosyncratic style. The drawings of the
journey emerge projected onto a large screen,
seemingly with a life of its own, animating the
story on stage. The result is a magical adventure

Polarbear makes things up. Whether it’s stories, jokes or adventures,
he’s a master ‘maker-upper’. Mouth Open, Story Jump Out is about
the moment that started it all, and how one little decision set off a
chain reaction that changed his life forever. International assassins,
secret codes, dog-eating boa constrictors and much more fill the hole
left when a father disappears and a boy discovers a talent for telling
tales. Youngsters are invited to this vivid and absorbing show about
the craft of storytelling. Polarbear will also delight and inspire young
audiences in schools around Palmerston when he takes Mouth Open,

Looking to Europe or Closer
to Home?
An expert panel of arts luminaries, who are
not short of an opinion, tackles the issue of
programming in Australian arts centres and
festivals. Are Australian arts festival programs
traditionally Euro-centric because this reflects
what the audience wants to see or indeed who
they think they are? Given Darwin’s proximity
to South East Asia, should our festival be about
connecting us to our northern neighbours or
should we be bringing a slice of Europe to the
Top End?

Church Cathedral following the
final performance of Rianto's
Medium. Australia’s leading
Indonesian commentator Tim
Lindsey is joined by Indonesia’s
leading filmmaker Garin Nugroho
for a frank discussion about the
state of Islam on our doorstep.
Indonesia has long enjoyed a
reputation as the ‘smiling face of
Islam’, with Muslims there often
portrayed as more tolerant and
pluralistic than in the Middle East.
But is this still true? This riveting
discussion, looking at Indonesia
before and after the advent of
democracy in 1998, examines
whether unique and multi-layered
local cultures are being pushed out
by Islamist reformers and whether
Indonesia can still claim to be a
bastion of religious tolerance.

Rust and Bone is an exhibition of natural art
and soundscape from multi-disciplined artist
Freedom Summers. Abstract wall pieces made
from beautiful and interesting objects – rusted
tin, bones, stone, wood and feathers – are
accompanied by an ambient sound-sculpture.
This audio, made up of sound bites or sketches
from where the objects on display have been
found, is mixed into a soundtrack to create a
landscape journey.
The Most Stolen Race On Earth is an exhibition
by Sydney-based artist duo Blak Douglas (aka
Adam Hill) and Adam Geczy. Taking up most
of NCCA’s gallery spaces, these installations
challenge the idea of a lucky, fair-go Australia,
exposing the nation’s racial myths and
fault-lines and the continuing socio-political
disempowerment of Indigenous Australians.
Drawing on humour, satire and shock, this
black-and-white duo shifts the ‘post’ in
postcolonial and effectively maintains the rage.

Through our creative work, our partnerships
and our sponsorships with some of the most
iconic Territory organisations we are able to
elevate perceptions of what the Territory can
offer – nationally and internationally.
As a truly local agency that – just like the
Festival – has brought together creative talent
from around the world, it’s no surprise that the
glove fits well. We couldn’t put it much better
than poet Simon Armitage who once mused
that “staying local should never be about
looking at the world through a closed window,
but about making a home then throwing the
doors open and inviting the world in.”
DIGITAL PARTNER
&
Perceptions on the other hand can be a
different matter. The Territory is a place not
always perceived as we would like it to be
or how it deserves to be; our capabilities are
often overlooked. Here at Boab we understand
that perceptions are everything, as a leading
brand design agency our business is all about
perceptions. Understanding them. Managing
them. Changing them. It’s why we’re here.
Our two-year Darwin Festival partnership
provides one of the best platforms possible to
do this. It’s an opportunity to showcase what
we’re all about and what we can do to the
widest possible audience. It fuels our passion to
change perceptions as we welcome in visitors
from far and wide during the magical dry.
BRAND DESIGN PARTNER

The Territory is a spirited, innovative place,
rich not just in resources but also in talent and
ability. We know this, we live here.

Since our humble beginnings in 1978, Darwin
Festival has grown enormously in both the
size of our audience and the richness of
our artistic offerings. The Festival is funded
through a variety of sources with less
than a quarter of our income coming from
ticket sales. Because of the work we do to
bring our communities together and invest
in the rich arts and cultural landscape of
Darwin, we hold charity status to encourage
members of the public to invest in the arts
and in what the arts do for our community.
Put simply, we would not be able to exist
without all of our supporters, big and small.

All Darwin Festival venues are smoke free
Darwin Festival is located in and around various venues
throughout Darwin, the city centre and Palmerston. The program
has been designed to enable you to take in as many events as
possible and then return to the heart of the Festival action in
Festival Park. Here you’ll find our iconic Big Top under the stars
The Lighthouse, Brown’s Mart Theatre, our live music stage the
Bamboo Band Stand and our newest late-night hangout Club
Awi at Happy Yess. Make a night of it at Festival Park, mingle
with friends, share a bite or enjoy a chat over a cold one from the
Coopers Festival Bars. From here it’s a quick trip to many city
venues, including Darwin Entertainment Centre (just a 10 minute
journey by foot), or The Amphitheatre and Darwin Railway Club
(home to Festival Lounge and just a few minutes away by vehicle)
and a bit further afield to CDU, so you can pack a lot of Festival
fun into your afternoon or evening!
