Enlighten Festival at the Gardens

This year's Enlighten Festival event at the ANBG, Symbiosis, is accompanied by free daytime guided walks on the theme of symbiotic plant relationships in nature.

Symbiosis

5 – 14 March 2021

Join an exclusive after dark walking tour through the Australian National Botanic Gardens with illuminated live dance, music and spoken word. Experience a unique sensory work created by award winning dance company, Australian Dance Party and collaborating artists.

This intimate open-air experience explores the volatility of the natural world in the age of the Anthropocene. An embodied study of symbiotic relationships: parasitism, mutualism and commensalism, provokes a crucial reflection on human-ecological relationships. The work re-positions the human as a part of nature, and the response-ability we hold in shaping our ecological future.
