Ultimate Safari

Events Feb 19-23 State Theatre Centre of WA

174 / 176 William St, Perth, WA 6000

Description

Take a 360° look at wildlife conservation and tourism in Africa on this immersive adventure.

Be transported to the safari plains of Tanzania without leaving Perth. Put on a set of virtual reality goggles and you become a tourist, sitting on the roof of a 4WD as a herd of elephants meanders past.

From the safety of your zebra skin stool, a group of performers from Germany and Tanzania are your personal guides on what might be the ultimate way to experience an African safari. The adventure feels even more real as the performers move around you, bringing the experience to life.

Sadly, wildlife conservation in Africa also has a dark side. Safari tourism is the main source of income for several African countries, while at the same time most national parks exclude the local population, depriving them of their livelihood. Revealing the Tanzanian experience is part of Ultimate Safari.

Ultimate Safari leads you on a multi-perspective journey through the economic challenges and conflicts between locals, wealthy hunting and photo tourists and international conservation organisations in Tanzania. This innovative artistic collaboration blends powerful and playful performance, lecture and immersive film scenes for a visceral and thought-provoking experience.
