spectacular. A show for young people with<br />

such large-scale production values is an exciting event <strong>and</strong> one we wanted<br />

our Gecko audiences to experience. Bringing this type of production to life,<br />

<strong>and</strong> to <strong>Perth</strong>, requires <strong>the</strong> support of a whole host of people, companies <strong>and</strong><br />

organisations. Barking Gecko is proud to be a presenting partner for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perth</strong><br />

season of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Nargun</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Stars</strong> by ERTH-Visual & Physical.<br />

on contemporary issues. When we are not touring to remote corners of WA,<br />

visiting local schools <strong>and</strong> collaborating with national <strong>and</strong> international artists,<br />

Gecko thrives on <strong>the</strong> challenge of creating our own <strong>the</strong>atre that engages young<br />

people <strong>and</strong>, simultaneously, broadens <strong>the</strong>ir underst<strong>and</strong>ing of <strong>the</strong> world. Since<br />

1991 Barking Gecko has earned an international reputation for excellence <strong>and</strong><br />
