Trade Winds has captivated audiences around the globe and now it’s Yeppoon’s turn to experience it’s bright and bold technicolour show!

Being performed against the back drop of the beautiful Yeppoon Lagoon, audiences will be taken on a journey where the traditions of the Pacific collide with the whims of pop culture.

Described as a “a powerful visual experience”, residents are being encouraged to come along and see the wonder for themselves when the show visits Yeppoon on Saturday 20 November, 2021.

Councillor Rhodes Watson, Portfolio Holder of Vibrant Communities (Tourism, Arts Culture), said Trade Winds is an evocative performance installation depicting the journey of two women from different cultures.

“This stunning collaboration between the innovative and imaginative team from dance-theatre company Polytoxic and one of Australia’s most exciting contemporary Pacific visual artists, Samuel Tupou, is a magical event for the whole family,” Cr Watson said.

“Two performers literally dance on the water and as they move they become giant screens illuminated by a world of exquisite animated projections.

“Trade Winds is a work that has captivated audiences around the globe.

“The work is about connection and cultural exchange and audiences are offered the opportunity to participate in an exchange through the 'message boats' installation and to witness cultural exchange through performance.

“This will be a breathtakingly beautiful festival experience for all ages to enjoy and Council is thrilled to welcome this spectacular animated projection to Livingstone residents.”
