River of Lives

Travel by boat, immersed in a live soundscape part manufactured and part naturally occurring. Feel the river beneath you, hear it described by the many who use it.  A meditation on the Maribrynong River, weaving personal accounts, historical facts and glimpses of the ordinary and extraordinary people who inhabit it. 
A cast of 30 with original live music and sound by Michael Havir and live sheng player Wang Zheng-Ting. Special thanks to Peter & Warwick from Blackbird Boat Cruises."
Site Specific Performance. On Saturday 7 November 2015 a number of free site-specific performance and events were held along the Maribyrnong River near Footscray Community Arts Centre. River of Lives celebrated the diverse and inspiring connection that community members have with the Maribyrnong River in Footscray.
