Malukazil, a Torres Strait Islander dance group from Erub (Darnley Island) performs a “play dance” called Zorm Kolbe kolbe (In the afternoon); two boys from the Djarragun Dancers join them as well, at the Sound Shell in Cairns during celebrations commemorating Mabo Day. They then perform a traditional fast “Silent dance”, accompanied only by drumming. This dance originates from Saibai, an island just south of the Papua New Guinea coast.
