In the 1960s, a Gurindji boy was adopted under government policy by a white English family and taken to live in a remote hamlet in the UK. He spent the rest of his life there – struggling with displacement, identity and isolation until he died in police detention. ‘The Other Side of Me’ is a production by NT Dance Company based off 30 letters and poems the man sent home to the Northern Territory. Choreographer Gary Lang talks through the collaboration that brought this show to life, and how he came to know this story.
