Reviews
“The action-packed production incorporates energetic sequences choreographed by adept movement director Kirk Page...
...providing an exquisite dimension of visceral excitement to the narrative.” ★★★★
— Suzy Wrong, Time Out
" Kirk’s energetic performance to build an atmosphere of terror as the indivisibility of the hunter and hunted twists and shifts through Page’s very physical wrestle with panic." My Lover's Bones ★★★★ 1/2
- The Guardian
"Director Kirk Page’s Djurra is important for so many reasons, first and foremost as a multi-disciplinary performative ceremony including dance, spoken text and physical theatre in which ritual is enacted."
