Have you got your tickets to meet Migi, a tiny green turtle hatchling? “Waru – Journey of the Small Turtle” is an incredible performance by the acclaimed Bangarra Dance Theatre – and their first dedicated work for children. We are super excited to have such a special experience available for kids right here on the Coast! With music, movement and meaningful themes, it’s a captivating and inspiring production you won’t want to miss.
PLUS, we’re giving away a free family pass. To enter, scroll down.
What’s The Story?
The premise of the story is this: the turtles have laid their eggs and now it’s time to hatch! Children can immerse themselves in an interactive experience as they follow little Migi’s challenging journey across the sand and seas of the Torres Strait. Along the way, they’ll be inspired by Islander culture and dance, whilst learning about climate change and caring for our environment. It’s a contemporary take on a traditional tale, and a truly special experience to share with your family.
