To celebrate the Spring Equinox, Cementa26 presents Sound for the Stars, an evening of sonic and theatrical performance at the Wollemi Standing Stones outside Kandos.

Set on Wiradjuri Dabee Country, Sound for the Stars invites audiences to share food, witness sunset and moonrise, and experience works exploring our connection to place, time and the cosmos.

Featuring Emma Syme, Sun Valley (Joyce Hinterding, David Haines, Michael Morley and Maelyse Leculier), Penrith Miers Archive, Keila Torencio de Paula and Jannah Quill.

Gates open: 5pm
Performances begin: 5:45pm

Portable toilets are onsite.

Waste bins will be available, but we encourage everyone to help us leave the Wollemi Standing Stones as we found them and take rubbish home where possible.

Accessibility & conditions

The event takes place in a rural paddock. The ground is predominantly flat but grassy and uneven, and the performance takes place in low-light conditions.

The carpark is approximately 150 metres from the performance area. The event is wheelchair accessible and Cementa volunteers will be available to assist people with mobility concerns between the carpark and performance area.

There are two dams on the property. These will be marked and monitored. Please remain within the designated event area, and children must remain accompanied by an adult.

This is an experimental sound and performance event and may include amplified sound, unusual sonic frequencies and changing or low-light conditions.

Weather

Sound for the Stars is an outdoor event and may be cancelled in severe weather.

If Cementa cancels the event, ticket holders will receive a refund. Updates will be sent to the email address used for booking.
