SALT is a multimedia presentation of 8 installations exploring the idea of civil disobedience, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's Salt March speech and the effect his words had on a multitude of people.
Audiences will be free to wander around STT’s warehouse and observe the installations which will be placed around a central artwork created from salt. Installations will be a mix of live, ongoing, repetitive action, film, or static visual art. Shaking the Tree’s Artistic Director, Samantha Van Der Merwe will orchestrate the experience, and flow of the evening, working with each individual artist/artist pair to best express their final vision.

What is SALT?
How will it work?
- SALT is not a play. It is more like an exhibition, although there are performance pieces within the exhibition itself.
- You will be welcome to arrive any time during the open hours on the night/afternoon you book your ticket.
- You can come and go during open hours.
- There will be no formal seating. Think of it as a gallery space. You will move from exhibit to exhibit.
- You will be handed a program letting you know what times the performances will be held.
- All performances will be repeated during the night so that you can catch all of them.
