This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2022 season. This season is now over.

Two birds are drawn in a bright orange textured circle that looks like a sun or moon. The Bird on the left is a white-faced heron with its wings stretched out encircling the bird on the right which is a currawong. The drawing has lots of small details lines and pops of colours.
Three mythical looking animals run across a simple cream background with specks of dust stirring up behind them. At the front is a crocodile with a stone castle growing on its back. In the centre, a heron bird flies above the others with a greenhouse attached to its back. Lastly, they are followed up by a tiger with a cottage on its back and a large tree trailing leaves behind them. The animals each are adorned with little details like golden jewellery and ornate scrollwork.
Two musicians stand on a dimly blue-lit stage with rays of light filtering over them. A male guitarist stands on the left looking down at the guitar, a female cellist sits down on the right looking up at the guitarist. Both of their faces are highlighted by the spotlight. A faded emblem is featured in the centre with the words "2021 Adelaide Fringe - Winner - Weekly Awards"
