Overview
A glowing gathering inspired by the journeys of birds.
A luminous, performer-led installation that celebrates migration, flight and the beauty of birds. Beneath a glowing cloud and across a shimmering lake of light, children are invited to explore movement, sound and wonder in a story of arrival and departure that they help create.
Championing a team of First Nations and culturally diverse artists, this immersive Patch Theatre experience blends light, music and imagination to celebrate belonging and connection, a place where young audiences can gather, like birds returning home after an epic journey.
Please note: This is a high-sensory experience containing amplified music, high and low lighting, lighting effects and haze.
