Bungalow Song was a music theatre work commissioned by Mbantua Festival, a new indigenous arts festival presented Alice Springs in October 2013. Bungalow Song was co-commissioned with Opera Australia and directed by Nigel Jamieson.
The show told the story of life at the Old Telegraph Station, home to multiple generations of forcibly removed Indigenous children that were separated from their families and robbed of their culture. The superb Indigenous cast were untrained children from Alice Springs that created the work with Nigel over six weeks in an intense and extraordinary process. Kate produced Bungalow Song in her role as Executive Producer of Mbantua Festival.
