Description Humming with Pilbara energy and at turns funny, wicked, beautiful and gut wrenching, Hipbone Sticking Out sweeps across time with luminous animation, intricate music and layered narrative to take you on a mesmerising theatrical ride.

When 16-year-old Yindjibarndi man John Pat died in a Roebourne lockup in 1983, it was more than a singular tragedy – it was part of a longer story, one that for 150 years had denied Indigenous people in the Pilbara the power to speak.

Set against a backdrop depicting Murujaga – the world’s largest outdoor rock art gallery – this stellar cast create a tour de force story that places the Pilbara at the centre of world history.
