The Bogong's Song – a call to Country

Cremorne Theatre, QPAC

Updated: Sep 21, 2025

The Bogong’s Song is a blend of storytelling, shadow puppetry, dance, and song created especially for primary-aged children and will be showing at the Cremorne Theatre QPAC from September 25 to October 4, 2025.

As Nan passes her knowledge to her grandchildren, we’re all invited to experience connection to Country. And as the children open their hearts to the stories of their ancestors, we discover that even the smallest creatures have a vital role to play.

"What guides you through the darkness when you’ve lost your way? A whisper on the wind. A shimmer in the stars. A moth in flight. When a brother and sister turn out the lights for the night, their Nan promises to tell them a story. Like the beating wings of the Bogong moth, her voice carries them into dreams, into an extraordinary world where Country shares its secrets. In this place, the past speaks through stars, trees, and grasses. Healing begins in the silence between breaths."

Part of Brisbane Festival, this brand-new work from Yolande Brown and Chenoa Deemal follows Bangarra Dance Theatre’s award-winning Waru – journey of the small turtle, which enthralled more than 25,000 children last year.

Featuring Benjin Maza and Tjilala Brown-Roberts, whose talents in dance, music, and spoken word bring this warm-hearted story to life – The Bogong’s Song invites young audiences to listen, reflect, and wonder.

Good to know - Duration 45 minutes, no interval, subject to change without notice.

Need to know - Recommended for children aged 7-12 years.
