Sal is a mysterious furry creature with many talents; violin and guitar to name a few.
He will be singing, playing and telling stories with his ensemble of musicians at the wonderful Robbie Burns Hotel of Wyndham, NSW.
Sal is a manifestation of the archetype of innocence. The show explores what happens when this innocence encounters responsibility.
Joshua, the grown up human character, relives his past as he helps Sal negotiate emotional obstacles through the power of song.
So Me and Sal is about emotional intelligence. It presents scenarios where the moral outcome is sometimes ambiguous; the audience is invited to grow emotionally with the characters through introspection.
