About the Event
Benang Koondarm: Tomorrow's Dream brought together community members for a joyful outdoor celebration of Noongar culture, connection and community under the stars at Albany's Historic Whaling Station Amphitheatre on 18 April 2026.
Directed by Karla Hart Productions, the powerful event united Noongar dance groups, musicians and storytellers in a breathtaking corroboree on Menang boodja (Menang Country). Through language, dance and song, performers shared stories of kinship, strength and belonging, creating an unforgettable cultural experience.
From the afternoon, the site came alive with food vendors, cultural market stalls and family-friendly festival activities, creating a vibrant atmosphere ahead of the evening performance. Visitors explored the markets, sampled local flavours and connected with community before gathering in the amphitheatre as the sun set for a powerful celebration beneath the southern sky.
Benang Koondarm: Tomorrow's Dream invited audiences to honour Country, embrace culture and share in the spirit of tomorrow's dream, leaving a lasting impression of connection, celebration and community long after the final song.
