The Creation Theatre is a blend of culture and technology where, using the latest in illusion theatrics and technology, the story of the creation of the world according to the spiritual and traditional beliefs of Tjapukai mythology is presented.

In the Tjapukai language, in words spoken again for the first time in two generations, four actors relate the legend of creation as told in the Dreamtime to the bama, the people.

Guests hear the story in the original Tjapukai language, overlaid with a verbatim translation in the language of their choice (presently English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Mandarin, Italian and Spanish.

The legend reflects the Djabugay people's beliefs concerning the duality of the universe. In the beginning of the story, a cassowary egg forms, growing to a size of 2 metres. Bolts of lightening appear and form around the egg, forcing it to break apart.

Out of the egg come the twin elements that create the universe - the Wet (Damarri) and the Dry (Guyala), and all life forms that relate to these twin spheres - birds, lizards, animals etc.
