Kardla Paltendi (Dancing Fire)
This stunning new installation celebrates the re-emergence of traditional Kaurna fire practice and taps into humanity’s fascination with fire, shining a light on Karrawirraparri (the River Torrens) and its reflection mirrored in the Milky Way. The world-premiere collaboration between Kaurna man Jamie Goldsmith, his Taikurtinna dance group and installation artist Simon Hutchinson symbolises the primordial, eternal connections of land and sky, material and spiritual, as giant flaming pillars disintegrate and crumble, drawing us like moths to dancing flames.
Kardla Paltendi will be open until midnight following the performance element of the installation each night.
