The Fire Garden
Event description
This ambitious new production of enormous proportions will tour to Wangaratta for two nights only.
Wamba Wamba man, Uncle Ron Murray, will share a Creation Story. Like the drive-in cinemas of yesteryear, Ron’s words
will be broadcasted via OAKFM 101.3 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 spirits and animals.
Music, Light, Sound and Story, all culminating in a spectacular fireworks display.

The producers would like to acknowledge that we will be presenting this work on the lands of the Bpangerang People people. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and we pay our respects to the elders past, present and emerging. We would like to give special thanks to Uncle Ron Murray, Uncle Dozer and Lorraine Brigdale for the sharing of knowledge and culture. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
