Description "Stephen Page teams up once again with Frances Rings to choreograph this spellbinding new work Bush, inspired by the Dreamtime Creation stories of North East Arnhem Land". "From the last breath of sunset to the first finger-light of dawn, the audience enters a mysterious and secret space - a moth flutters her dusty wings as she wriggles from her cocoon, reptilian creatures slither from dark caves, the land erupts pushing up mountains and carving waterholes - the world is being born".
