***Latest event details are yet to be confirmed*** Each night during
the festival, Barangaroo's Exchange Place is transformed into a
wondrous Winter Camp inspired by the changing seasons. Meet the
glowing giant Marri Dyin (pronounced Mahr-ee Djin), meaning ‘Great
Woman’ in Sydney Aboriginal language. One of the largest puppets
constructed in Australia, this six-metre tall contemporary spirit
reveals the influence and importance of First Nations women, including
Barangaroo after whom the site is named. From Monday to Wednesday,
Marri Dyin sits in still contemplation by the campfire. During
Thursday to Sunday evening performances, she invites audiences to join
in the practice of hunting and gathering before kneeling down so
children can share a magical moment with her. A school of captivating
illuminated fish, puppeteered by local Sydney school children, joins
Marri Dyin. Creators Erth Visual and Physical Inc, Mandylights and
Jacob Nash combine their artistry to honour the fact that we stand on
the land of the oldest continually living culture.
