Theatre – Kaurna Palti Meyenna - Adelaide Festival

Composer - Opening of the 2002 Adelaide Festival.

Kaurna Palti Meyunna, the Opening Ceremony featuring Indigenous people from around Australia and South Australia, as well as representatives from Aotearoa New Zealand, the Zulu Nation of South Africa, Gyuto Monks from Tibet and the Zuni people from New Mexico. It sounds like it will be a majestic event, proceeding from the four outlying squares into Tandanyungga (Victoria Square) for a Spirit Fire ceremony and a dreaming named for an esteemed Kaurna ancestor, Tjilbruke.  

The event involved nearly 80,000 people with performers and audience members participating in singing and dancing their way to Victoria Square.  Charlie composed the score, wrote the songs and coordinated the complex musical program for the evening.
