Saltbush is an extraordinary interactive performance designed to captivate young audiences while offering parents a chance to witness something truly special. This one-of-a-kind experience invites children to play, explore, and perform as they embark on a journey through Australia's diverse landscapes—river country, bustling cities, deserts, and the sea—guided by the story of two friends and their spiritual companion.
Through cutting-edge technology like sensors and infrared cameras, children become an integral part of the show, actively engaging with the performance in a way that's as magical as it is meaningful. Parents and teachers will watch with delight as the kids immerse themselves in this imaginative adventure, creating moments of wonder that won't soon be forgotten.
Rooted in the wisdom of Australia's First Nations cultures, Saltbush celebrates the connection between people, the land, and its stories. Inspired by the saltbush plant—a symbol of unity among Indigenous nations—this production weaves together contemporary painting, dance, and music created by First Nations artists to bring the beauty and mythology of the Australian landscape to life.
