Dazzle of Shadow is a disfiguring, a defacing, of dazzling visions of the anthropologists who made made the Aboriginal Other their own Same. Their project, however unthinkingly, was one of spatial, social and spiritual destruction. Anthropologists became graveside orators, burying what may have been dazzle and darkness among the shades . At no point in the performance does Dazzle of Shadow represent or perform Aboriginal languages, poetry, song, places, music, or dance. All that is represented or performed – figured or transfigured – are the anthroplogists,, what they wrote, captured, nullified, and mourned; and spaces, figures, sounds, images, movements, after and beyond the writing, capture, voiding, and mourning.
