What can you Expect at GLOW 2019?
Marvel as the colours of the sky shape-shift into the Aurora tones of the northern lights, with Borealis by Swiss Artist Dan Acher; French spectacle company Cie Des Quidams set free a mystical troupe of inflatable horses on a fantastic ride through the imagination. Australian Company Stalker combine aerial acrobatics with cutting edge interactive technology to create an Australian habitat play space, Mountain; and contemporary visual artist Meagan Streader pushes the limits of light and sculpture within her latest installation, Parallelism.
The stunning centrepiece of GLOW this year will be BOREALIS, by acclaimed Swedish artist Dan Acher. Gold Coasters can experience the Northern Lights from the comfort of their picnic blankets as the glorious colours of the aurora are projected over the Outdoor Stage lawns, accompanied by a stunning soundtrack and the voices from the HOTA Choir.
