OUR REVIEW HERE.

#sydney We were invited today to experience the gorgeous production of Guruwin: Sharks of Sydney Harbour by the talented @erthaustralia team at the @sea.museum. We loved listening to this poetic and majestic production through headphones showcasing different sea life creatures who looked incredibly life like in two different settings. This 40 minute session is recommended for kids 4-14 years and adults. On next weekend 29th-30th June and 17th-21st July during the holidays. Sensory friendly sessions are also available. Bookings essential. #hosted #invited #australiannationalmaritimemuseum #seamuseum #erthaustralia #sharksofsydney


Plunge into the mysterious underwater world of the sharks of Sydney harbour in Guruwin (Shark) an unmissable new experience by world-renowned visual theatre makers and puppeteers ERTH Visual and Physical Inc. 

Encounter bull sharks, grey nurses and the majestic great white. Come face to face with an array of spectacular sea life that has existed from deep within our prehistoric past to the rich biodiversity that now calls Sydney Harbour home.

Presented as a live poetic documentary, Guruwin’s exquisite puppets will enchant and delight, challenging you to reconsider our own role in protecting these much maligned magnificent creatures.
