The Weeping Tree will see the collision of art, science, palawa connection to country, and intimate story-telling to engage audiences with an iconic and charismatic Tasmanian tree that is critically threatened by the effects of climate change, the cider gum (Eucalyptus gunnii). Set in the central highlands of Tasmania a place rarely seen on our screens and an area that has long inhabited a special place deep in the Tasmanian psyche for its unforgiving climate and remoteness. This story will resonate with audiences grappling to reconnect with nature and re-adjust after recent events. It will explore arts' place in our relationship with the natural world which is currently undergoing great change.
