erth presents Soft Forest as part of Parramatta’s Midwinter Festival

Slip beneath the city’s buzz and into The Nature of Things.
Here, time slows, breath deepens, and the world above feels far away.

At the centre of this living artwork is Fauna, an enchanting creature born of ancient mycelium, the hidden network that threads beneath every forest floor.
She is part plant, part animal and carries the voices of the trees. Fauna shares their stories with quiet wonder, guiding curious minds to reflect on our place in the natural world and how we might protect it.

As she moves through the space, the air fills with a dreamy soundscape. Trees sing, and a shimmering swarm of fireflies dance in her wake. The atmosphere is meditative and magical, inviting you to slow down, listen and rediscover your sense of connection to nature.

Part performance, part gentle meditation, The Nature of Things is a rare chance to step away from the rush and experience a moment of calm, beauty and renewal away from the busy streets.

Fauna is available to activate green spaces and urban environments alike, connecting audiences with nature: either as a roving performance, or as a bespoke curated happening as part of a festival or event. We can record the biometric sounds of your local trees to create site specific meditative Tree Listening zones, and work with your community to bring to life this interactive performance.
