Kaarla Kaatijin means to ‘understand fire’ in the Noongar language.
Drawing from creation stories in and around the Boorloo metropolitan area, playwright Zac James draws on traditional knowledge and storytelling to introduce young audiences to stories about fire in an authentic and engaging way.
Kaarla Kaatijin explores the importance of fire, spiritually and practically, using Noongar Dreaming stories and language, beautiful puppetry, masks, and music as young children experience stories in an engaging and joyful way.
Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company’s much-loved Kaatijin Series introduces our youngest audiences to caring for country, environmental sustainability, cultural awareness and what it means to be a strong, centred individual learning about the world.
