Duyfken
- Navigators
The occasion is the 400th anniversary of the first European landing
on the Great South Land - by a tiny Dutch ship, the Duyfken in 1606.
Twenty-four young artists from five continents converge on a remote
area of Australia in North-western Cape York. They emerge two weeks
later to record and reflect on their experiences. Co-directed by an
Australian and a Dutch director, Navigators
is an act of creative imagining, which rekindles the spirit of voyaging
into the unknown. It is a unique and moving event: part performance,
part installation, part multi-media spectacle, part exhibition and
part social experiment.
