Description "The Bridge is a powerful theatrical event that marks the end of the first stage of Re-Igniting Community North West, an initiative of The Torch Project, which uses theatre to explore social issues and helps develop stronger, more active communities in regional Victoria. The Bridge focuses on a small regional community in the lead-up to its annual Carnivale Day. Victoria's biggest ever dance competition, a re-enactment of White setlement with a twist and the unveiling of The Big Sprinkler, combine to bring past and present face to face in this dynamic blend of song, dance, comedy and drama."
