Dubu

Presented by the NT Cultural Village, featuring Drum Drum and the Arafura Ensemble.

A dynamic performance bringing ancient cultures and traditions to life.

This lively and energetic performance will focus around a Dubu, a traditional ceremonial platform from Motuan villages in Papua New Guinea.

The Dubu was the focus for rituals and ceremonies, where many different clans would come together to celebrate a bountiful harvest or the betrothal of the Chief's son. Using an impressive re-creation of a traditional Dubu, the NT Cultural Village will amaze audiences with the colour, energy and lively performances by groups from PNG, Indonesia, Thailand, Samoa, Kiribati and other cultures, together with the classical Arafura Ensemble.

This interactive celebration will feature exciting traditional dances, pulsating drumming, lively music, and ceremonies, bringing together many diverse people of Darwin to celebrate their cultures and traditions.
