'Ngapartji Ngapartji' translates as 'I give you something, you give me something' and this concept of reciprocity is at the heart of the broader Ngapartji Ngapartji project. Using 'puntu' (body), 'inma' (song) and 'tjukurpa' (story) and performed in Pitjantjatjara, English, Japanese, Hazari and Greek, Ngapartji Ngapartji explores the impact of the Cold War on the 20th century through the prism of Trevor's family experience in the South Australian desert.
