On today’s show we’re exploring what it is to continue to tell stories across evolving digital landscapes and the need to teach younger generations to care for, learn and grow alongside Country. That’s done in creative ways with the multimedia, First Nations theatre production Saltbush. It’s a production that follows two friends, discovering and growing an understanding of the land; and how that challenges and provokes their personal journeys - doing this by using painting, dance, sensory cameras and interactive storytelling story-telling. 

Guest host for Race Matters Maleeka Gazula chatted to one of the show’s performers, Luke Currie-Richardson about all of this, as well as what it's been like to be an interdisciplinary storyteller in a show that’s been on stage for over a decade.

Saltbush is on now until April 17 at the Sydney Opera House - get your tickets here.
