A French exotic dancer has put on a strip show on top of Australia’s most sacred rock as a “tribute” to Aborigines and their culture and to fulfill a lifelong dream
But the performance by Alizee Sery, 25, is likely to anger traditional owners who see Uluru as the most sacred place in Central Australia. Uluru used to be known as Ayres Rock, until it was given back to the aboriginal people.
The strip show is also likely to infuriate Parks Australia, which is under intense pressure to ban people from climbing the rock.
Ms Sery had her performance photographed and videotaped.
She told The Sunday Territorian
I do not mean in any way for this video to offend the Aboriginal culture, I am aware that Uluru is sacred in their culture. My project is a tribute to the greatness of The Rock. What we need to remember is that traditionally, the Aboriginal people were living naked. So stripping down was a return to what it was like.
Can’t help wondering if she has a brother in the French Navy.
