| Description |
A spectacular large-scale outdoor show, Homeland tells of the struggle to be accepted in a new and alien culture and the building of a multicultural society. Performers descend the side of an 80-110 metre building which is turned into a massive performance space upon which highly skilled performers and huge projected images collide. Set to the delightful resonating sound of Bulgarian song and music by Australia’s leading world music ensemble – Mara! – and the Martenitsa choir, Homeland is an unforgettable experience. |
