19 — 21 Sep
Skylore — The Rainbow Serpent
Presented by Brisbane Festival, The Star Entertainment Group, Brisbane City Council and The Courier-Mail
A breathtaking and poetic drone display.
Back by popular demand and following the huge success of last year’s Nieergoo: Spirit of the Whale, our three-dimensional multicolour drone show returns for another glittering spectacular.
Join us at the South Bank ANZ Festival Gardens or Queen's Wharf as 400 drones dazzle over Brisbane’s iconic skyline with a spectacular storytelling of The Rainbow Serpent. This First Nations creation story for Brisbane River as told by Traditional Owner and Tribal Experiences Managing Director Shannon Ruska, brought to life through a carefully choreographed drone performance, with original sound composition by Guy Webster.
Skylore — The Rainbow Serpent is a larger-than-life highlight of Brisbane Festival and a bright and bold celebration of our city, celebrating culture and place.
Creative Direction: Tribal Experiences and Brisbane Festival
Drone Animation and Programming: Nova Sky Stories
Composition and Sound Design: Guy Webster
This project is supported through the Giving Program by Tim Fairfax AC & Gina Fairfax AC and Philip Bacon AO.
