Kaarla Kaatijin by Yirra Yaakin
July 10 @ 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm
Kaarla Kaatijin means to ‘understand fire’ in Noongar language. Come on a journey into the lives of Djitty Djitty (Willy Wagtail), Kulbardi (Magpie), Dwert (Dingo) and more friends as they explore the importance of Kaarla (Fire).
Drawing from creation stories in and around Boorloo metropolitan area, playwright Zac James draws on traditional knowledge and storytelling to introduce young audiences to stories about fire in an authentic and engaging way. Kaarla Kaatijin explores the importance of fire, spiritually and practically, using Noongar Dreaming stories and language, puppetry, masks and music, as young children experience stories in an engaging and joyful way.
Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company’s much-loved Kaatijin Series introduces audiences to caring for country, environmental sustainability, cultural awareness and what it means to be a strong, centred individual learning about the world.
