Join an exclusive after dark walking tour through the Australian National Botanic Gardens during the Enlighten Festival, with live dance, music and spoken word created by award winning dance company, Australian Dance Party and collaborating artists.
Symbiosis is an intimate open-air performance journey derived from symbiotic relationships: parasitism, mutualism and commensalism, present in these ecosystems. The work provokes a crucial reflection on human-ecological relationships and the volatility of the natural world in the age of the Anthropocene.
