The Village Fire Garden is touring to Wangaratta and Truganina July 2022!
Centred around a First Nations Creation story from the river country in southern NSW, told by renowned indigenous educator, musician and storyteller, Wamba Wamba man, Uncle Ron Murray.
Like the drive-in cinemas of yesteryear, Ron’s words will be broadcasted to the car radios of audience members parked around the Wangaratta Showgrounds at night. Accompanying the story will be awe inspiring pyrotechnics, goliath puppets and beautiful projections, transporting the audience to the time where country was created by animals and the spirits.
Music, Light, Sound and Story, all culminating in a spectacular fireworks display.
