Piyalbajarri (‘Yarns’) tells the story of Peter Salmon, a 92yo stockman, songwriter & senior knowledge holder for Thiinma people of the Upper Gascoyne.
Through storytelling (in Thiinma & English) & song, Peter shares his remarkable life spanning 100yrs of WA’s 200yr history, with snippets from history including the Pilbara Strike & Montebello bomb tests & his moving memories of growing up on Country with the Old People that shaped the man -Elder- he is today.
Paired on stage with longtime collaborator Rosie Sitorus, with songs from their first project ‘Warralgurniya’, Peter’s yarns will leave your heart warm & your eyes open to a world almost forgotten – but for one man’s incredible story.
