FREE OPENING EVENT 2016 Perth Festival. Langley Park. Budget $1.3m. Attendance 50,000
Featuring over 500 performers, 300 indigenous artists and lanterns made by 5000 schoolchildren, HOME celebrated the history of Western Australia and the depth of extraordinary West Australian musical and artistic talent.
“A joyous, honest account of how this place once was, how it was settled, and what has been made of it since then… a complex, political, courageous and very beautiful shadow play offered to Western Australians about what we are made of in this corner of a tremendous continent.” Terri-ann White Perth: a guide for the curious
“Home was bold and big-hearted, with a strong political message of recognising past wrongs and promoting an inclusive future told through music, words and dazzling visual projections.” Sydney Morning Herald
