British naturalist, explorer, presenter and writer, Steve Backshall is bringing his new show 'Ocean' to Australia.
Best known for his BBC TV series 'Deadly 60', Backshall will present his love letter to the most exciting environment on our planet, 'Bringing Marine Dreams To Life', to audiences in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne next January.An interactive show featuring stunts, experiments, props, cutting edge science and big screen footage, 'Ocean' finds Steve bringing the icons of the Big Blue to life, live onstage. "I can't wait to get back on tour Down Under, the true home of deadly wildlife," shares Steve.
"It's been a few years since I last got to take my wildlife show on walkabout, and this time to talk Oceans with the finest continent for marine dreams.
"I'm bringing the ocean's aquatic environments and marine creatures to life onstage by using a giant screen featuring lots of amazing footage from my encounters with sharks, whales and dolphins over the years.
"There will be onstage science experiments, by using props, stunts and tricks plus some outtakes and bloopers too. Also, some life-size scale ocean giants that we'll be bringing out onstage, which I think really helps because it's very, very difficult to get a sense of how big these animals really are. Being able to replicate that onstage is a big part of the show."
Tickets on sale from 16 September.
