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.
