Voices of Thiinma: Stories, Songs and Living History
Piyalbajarri (‘Yarns’) is a one-hour stage show of stories and songs, performed by 92-year-old Thiinma Elder, stockman and songwriter Peter Salmon with long-time collaborator, Rosie Sitorus.
Peter tells his life stories in both Thiinma and English, allowing audiences the rare chance to hear a critically endangered language spoken by its only living speaker. With warmth, humour and the easy flow of campfire storytelling, Peter recalls a lifetime on pastoral stations, his deep connection to Thiinma country, and the resilience and strength of culture that have carried him through. Together with Rosie, an experienced performer, linguist and community advocate, they create a moving, cross-generational performance that leaves audiences enriched, and connected.
