Description Set against the backdrop of Arnhem Land’s northern flood plains, Goose Lagoon explores the story of the magpie geese of the Top End; the furl of wings in the first light of the wet season, the frenetic struggle against the hunter’s gun, the tender love of delicate young goslings. The puppetry was directed by Erth Visual and Physical Theatre. The Company interspersed human movement and role of the dancers with the magpie geese puppets to enhance the story.
