Music
South Australia • World Premiere
An experimental blend of mediums that follows no structure, no criteria and no rules.

What happens when artists are free to create in the wild with talking trees, earthy beats, heartfelt stories, improv. folk and meandering orators amongst fresh water, sunset-lit gums, the evening chorus, and dusty toes?

Bring a torch and picnic...and settle in.
