Namatjira

Created by Scott Rankin

The grandchildren of Albert Namatjira re-tell the story of his remarkable life

Indigenous artist Albert Namatjira's achingly beautiful watercolours introduced Australian suburbia to the exquisite beauty of our central desert heartland.

In a similar way, the sweeping narrative of Namatjira acts as a window through which we see ourselves, and our nation, as clearly as the landscapes Albert Namatjira gave us.

Starring Trevor Jamieson – who last gave a breathtaking performance in Ngapartji Ngapartji – Namatjira captures the intense beauty, depth, opportunism, mateship and injustice that has shaped our country. Before our eyes, the grandchildren of Albert Namatjira – third generation watercolour artists – assist with the re-telling of his life, filling the stage with a huge landscape drawing of their desert country.

Namatjira is more than a night at the theatre: it is an experience of art, live on stage.
