BOORNA WAANGINY: THE TREES SPEAK
BOORNA WAANGINY: THE TREES SPEAK
Trees came alive through spectacular high-tech light projections, animation, sound, spoken word and song
The magic and drama of the awe-inspiring Boorna Waanginy: The Trees Speak returned to Kings Park to celebrate the regrowth and renewal of Kambarang season in spectacular style.
Audiences took an immersive after-dark walk through a tunnel of wonder along Fraser Avenue and into the park as stories of caring for Country came to spectacular life in this landmark melding of culture, science, cutting-edge technology and breathtaking artistry. Through spectacular high-tech light projections, animation, sound, and song, event-goers discovered stories of regrowth and new life as fire flickered, rain descended, plants emerged and bloomed, and giant birds and animals roamed all around and up above in the majestic treetops.
