The Mala Story

In the spiritual heart of Australia

An ancient story takes flight

WINTJIRI WIRU.

 

 

Before experiencing Wintjiri Wiru, we encourage everyone to visit the Mala Walk at the Uluru Base Walk. There you will see the tjukuritja (physical evidence) of the Mala tjukurpa (creation story) and gain a deeper understanding of this ancient story that will be brought to life in the outback sky through cutting-edge drone, laser light and sound technology.

You are on Yankunytjatjara Pitjantjatjara land, and we welcome you to experience our Tjukurpa, our story. We are Anangu and we have one of the oldest continuing cultures on earth. The story you will experience tonight has been passed to us from generation to generation. Our ancestors walked this Country, carried this story and shared this story through inma, our songs and our ceremonies.

Tonight we share with you our story in a new way; through sound, lasers, and more than a thousand drones that will light up the sky.

What you will experience tonight has been years in the making. Telling our story the right way is very important to us.

We are sharing the Mala story from Kaltukatjara to Uluru and we have been there every step of the way guiding Ayers Rock Resort. A group of 10 senior Anangu from Kaltukatjara and Mutitjulu, have taken great care to tell our story to you in the right way. The words you will hear in the show are spoken in our languages and interpreted in English. The story has many layers and we have carefully chosen every word we are sharing with you. What you see on the ground and in the sky has been developed with us.

Before we reach Wintjiri Wiru, we wanted to remind you of our tjukurpa, the Mala story.

1,100 drones depict a chapter of the ancient Mala story from Kaltukatjara to Uluru.

This will be the first time an Indigenous story has been told through the medium of lights, lasers, projection and drone technology at this scale and frequency, and performed on a regular basis anywhere in the world.
