Close to Home
2024 | Melbourne Fringe Festival
Close to Home is a contemporary visit to the zoo that immerses the audience in a curated space of transformation, philosophy, ecology, and possibility.
Created by Kate Cameron and Olivia Staaf with a team of artists and ecologists, this work is the culmination of historical, physical, emotional, and scientific observations of animal behaviour and human storytelling.
