Perth Festival | Boorna Waanginy: The Trees Speak [2024]

═══ Project ═══

The magic and drama of the awe-inspiring Boorna Waanginy: The Trees Speak returned to Kings Park in 2024 - a celebration of regrowth and renewal of the 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 come to spectacular life in this landmark melding of culture, science, cutting-edge technology and breathtaking artistry.  Discover stories of regrowth and new life through light projections as fire flickers, rain descends, plants emerge and bloom, and giant birds and animals roam all around and up above in the majestic treetops.
