Information

Follow a seed pod on an immersive journey through the Top End seasons. Together with a nature guide, POD battles fire, flood, storms, wind and monsoonal rains on a journey through its lifecycle and out to sea. Cocoons burst into life, grass trees dance, storm clouds morph into horses as they cross the sky and POD befriends birds, animals and insects who help it battle all the elements of a year. Created on Larrakia country and honouring the traditional Gulumoerrgin (Larrakia) cycle of the seasons, POD is a magical multi-sensory and sensory friendly adventure for all ages. The story and our natural world are brought to life through live music, puppetry, immersive projections and interactive set and props that the audience are invited to explore.
