Tracker is an impressive, all-Indigenous collaboration between the Australian Dance Theatre in Adelaide and the Ilbijerri Theatre in Melbourne, co-directed by their two ADs, respectively, choreographer Daniel Riley and Rachael Maza, for the Sydney Festival.
Three dancers and one actor, as Riley himself, artfully track through the early twentieth story of his great-great uncle Alex “Tracker” Riley and the remarkable cases he helped solve as a Wiradjuri Elder serving in the NSW Police Force.
