b'This postshow Q&A was recorded on 7/7/2016\\n\\nDance, video, poetry and song are breathtakingly combined in a major new work from intercultural and interdisciplinary company, Marrugeku.\\n\\nIn a burnt landscape a group of climate change refugees faces yet another extreme weather event. Propelled back and forward in time, they revisit conflict with mining companies, the destruction of fauna and the relegation of the marginalised, while contemplating the gift of life and the life-giving force of the sun. Butterflies swarm searching for water; dancers disintegrate into the light. A song is sung, calling for rain. Like climate change itself, Cut the Sky is both local and international \\u2013 bringing together artists from\\nEurope, Asia, Africa and remote and urban Australia. An ambitious and poignant meditation on humanity\\u2019s frailty in the face of our own actions, Cut the Sky showcases Marrugeku\\u2019s unique contemporary vision \\u2013 restless, taut and unwavering.'
