Inside poet, singer-songwriter and didgeridoo virtuoso Mark Atkins's campfire gathering-inspired work featuring poetry, music and song.

'Nightfalls' is a semi-staged program imagined as a gathering around a campfire featuring poems drawn from composer Mark Atkins's life, stories inspired by the Australian natural and cultural landscape, and songs containing tall tales of bushmen, travellers and other colourful characters. With additional music by composer and performer Erkki Veltheim.

We go behind-the-scenes of the 2022 world premiere of this work at UKARIA and, with Finding Our Voice Artistic Director Genevieve Lacey, delve deeper into the stories weaved through the mesmeric work.
