What You Need to Know About Fringe Opening Night

Let There Be Light on Opening Night! The opening night of the Adelaide Fringe will see our beloved River Torrens transform into an immersive cultural corridor to light up the faces of those young and old. Grab your picnic rugs and mozzie repellant and flock to the riverbank for the Tindo Utpurndee: Sunset Ceremony followed by Yabarra: Gathering of Light. Yabarra: Gathering of Light will illuminate the Torrens riverbank reeds, surrounding grasslands and paths to share stories from a time long ago, bringing to life native animals and Aboriginal storytelling through mesmerising interactive installations of projection, sound and light. This display will run over 31 nights of Adelaide Fringe, creating a FREE walking adventure for all ages. Adelaide Fringe has engaged Co-Artistic Director of YELLAKA and Senior Kaurna Custodian of Ceremony Karl Telfer as Cultural Creative Producer on the project to collaborate and create cultural content for Yabarra: Gathering of Light.
