The Legend of Tibrogargan

US premiere

On a trip to pay homage to her ancestors—with one of her grandfather’s orchestral compositions, “The Legend of Tibrogargan,” and a radio recording of his voice telling the legend in tow—the artist films the Australian landscape, threading the sounds, smells, and images that form the backbone of her vision of this formerly colonized and flood-torn country.
