River Song is an urgent, emotive celebration of the mighty Murray River, revealing the role rivers play in our lives – past, present and future.
Conversations from across kitchen tables inspire real characters and stories in an unfolding narrative.
Stories of historic pioneering adversity, drawn from first-hand reports, reveal the spirit of rural Australia in a historical and contemporary lens.
The original songs and folk-inspired score, supported by local artists' immersive imagery, flow with the energy of the river itself.
River Song will be touring traditional halls and venues, and is a journey of humour, heartbreak, courage and the spirit of country Australia.
The story is deeply engaging and serves as a nod to the illustrious days of river trade, while acknowledging the challenges of today's changing landscape.
River Song, a love letter to the Murray-Darling River basin.
A warm and heartfelt journey… the interdependence of nature and man.
