Manta Milmilpa

Country Arts SA Season 2023

Seating on stage

Robert K. Champion gives the past and present a voice, shedding light on the nation’s truth through song and story in his latest show Manta Milmilpa (Sacred Ground). Manta Milmilpa means Sacred Ground in Pitjantjatjara and refers to the sacredness of the land where the dead are buried.

Robert enthrals audiences with his warmth, poignancy and humour, even on confronting and sombre subjects, and this moving performance connects on a fundamentally human level. For Manta Milmilpa, Robert is joined by an ensemble cast of the finest musicians from across Melbourne and South Australia.

Manta Milmilpa is presented by Robert K. Champion Music in partnership with Country Arts SA. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.
