Dive into the murky depths and uncover the secret life of Tasmania’s short-finned eel, an immersive performance following one of nature’s greatest migrations, from the tropical ocean near Vanuatu to the cool rivers of Tasmania. Blending original music, underwater sound recordings, visuals, science and storytelling, it traces the eel’s profound hold on human history, from the ancient aquaculture systems at Budj Bim to Aristotle’s 2,300-year search for their spawning grounds. Performed by Where Water Meets (Emily Sheppard and Yyan Ng) with eel researcher Dr Malcolm Johnson, this show features the world’s first eel-skin instruments, and asks how we might live alongside these remarkable, and increasingly threatened, creatures.
