Nothing Rhymes With Ngapartji

Nothing Rhymes with Ngapartji, follows the journey of acclaimed Pitjantjatjara actor, Trevor Jamieson, as he returns to his traditional country to perform his hit theatre show Ngapartji Ngapartji -- to an all-Indigenous audience, in the remote Australian aboriginal community of Ernabella, South Australia.

It follows the daunting personal journey to bring his hit show home to country, the struggle of bridging two worlds, two languages, two cultures.

"Trevor's family story is one of struggle & survival. Beginning in the 1950's Trevor's grandfather witnessed British atomic testing spread sickness throughout his land; the performance follows three generations of an Aboriginal family as they grapple with becoming refugees in their own country.

Elders in Ernabella have their own memories of the Maralinga bombs, and Trevor knows that the Ngapartji Ngapartji show will be a potent reminder of what people have not talked about for a long time.

As excitement builds amongst the company and the community about performing for an indigenous audience in Ernabella, so too the trepidation builds in Trevor, as he fears the consequences of performing a story so close to his own heart.

Will Trevor’s resolve be his own undoing? We find out."
