If the walls could talk, what would they tell us? On an island, the ‘walls’ are the coastline that makes up its edge. And on this island, they enclose a unique web of stories and experiences woven in one of the most ancient inhabited landscapes on the planet. Our surroundings whisper their secrets to us if we care to listen. Whispering Walls is a celebration of the Tasmanian landscape and how it has shaped the people who live here. Van Diemen’s Fiddles have curated a program drawn from traditional music from 19th century Tasmanian songbooks, original compositions inspired by Tasmanian rivers, mountains and caves, and the community networks embedded within. Accompanied by spectacular visual projections by Caleb Miller and poetry readings by Tasmanian poets Daniel Townsend, Adrienne Eberhardt and Jim Everett-puralia meenamatta.
