Nieergoo: Spirit of the Whale

400 drones take to the sky to light up a 65,000 year old story.

Brisbane’s night sky has never looked so spectacular. Join us for a Festival first, as 400 drones dazzle over Brisbane’s iconic skyline celebrating our ancient stories of culture and place with a show directed by Traditional Owner and storyteller, Shannon Ruska and Tribal Experiences. An invitation to gather at the Australian Retirement Trust Festival Garden, South Bank, this new three-dimensional multicolour drone show will highlight Brisbane’s Neville Bonner Bridge and Queen’s Wharf animating the dreamtime Yuggera and Toorabul story of Nieergoo: Spirit of the Whale. Journey through MeanjinBrisbane’s 65,000 year old past as this creation story of the Islands in Moreton Bay is brought to life with stunning visuals and an original score by Guy Webster. An opening of BrisFest like no other, this new show kicks us off with a bright and bold celebration of our city.
