Saltbush
Saltbush is an immersive and interactive journey through the culture and language of Aboriginal Australia.
The narrative centres on the journey of two friends and their spiritual guide on foot as they cross Australian landscapes – river country, an urban landscape, desert and the sea. The journey is one of discovering the land, growing an understanding and acknowledging how it challenges or provokes personal journeys.
Children are invited to explore, play and dance with the performers as the landscape unfolds around them, providing a unique immersive experience. Saltbush combines immersive projection, sensors and infrared cameras, which allow the children to participate in the production.
Presented by HOTA, Home of the Arts and Insite Arts and Compagnia TPO.
