THE GIANTS is a unique immersive experience that transports the audience to the heart of Australia's ancient forests, to enter a dizzying world of excess: home to some of the tallest and oldest trees in the world.
The experience is structured around the life cycle of trees, from the moment they are born, breathe, feed and even communicate with each other, underground or through the air. And along the way, these trees create the water we drink and the oxygen we breathe.
Combining science and poetry, spectacular cinematography and computer-generated images obtained by 3D scanning of these great Tasmanian primary forests, THE GIANTS illuminates the invisible forces that animate the trees around us and offers the audience the opportunity to lose themselves in these sublime distant places - from the Valley of the Giants, home to the 'Australian Redwoods' to the 65-million-year-old forest of the Tarkine/takayna in Tasmania.
The experience encourages the public to see trees from a different perspective and, we hope, inspires them to protect them.
THE GIANTS is a collaboration between the Melbourne-based studio General Strike and the artist Alex Le Guillou.
