The vision of Theatre Kantanka director Carlos Gomes has led a team of cutting edge contemporary artists in the creation of a Nowra specific collection of artworks, installations and live performances. It’s a unique experience where visitors will travel through the Manse Gardens by entering a series of structures and domes housing the artworks. At dusk, the walls and surfaces around the Manse come to life with projections highlighting the unexpected beauty of the built landscape.The team of artists have tapped into local talent who are at the heart of the project by running a series of fantastic workshops in 2017. Known for creating a spectacle Carlos Gomes, Alison Clouston, Boyd, Katia Molino, Kym Vercoe and Sean Bacon have brought to life a program including music, storytelling, projection and performance that will take place throughout the day and evening.
