Letters From Australia - Immersive Worlds
Letters from Australia’ is an immersive 360° production, based on letters home by two Cornish Boys from West Cornwall, who emigrated to Australia in the 1860's. The recently discovered letters, which provide the inspiration, overarching visual motif and compelling lyrics of the production, cry out with homesickness, loneliness and separation, and the everyday challenges and triumphs of their pioneering life. While the boys had their mining and farming skills to fall back on; they also brought their culture, particularly their deep chapel faith.
The Cornish diaspora of the 19th century saw 250,000 people leave Cornwall, fleeing poverty and seeking opportunities across the globe. Approximately 10% of South Australians have Cornish ancestry, with areas including Moonta sometimes referred to as ‘Little Cornwall’.
