'I Gut This Feeling is a clever and comical theatre experience to entertain and educate audiences, both young and old.

'Djirra is a young girl just trying to make her way safely back home through a strange world. But where is home? Which path to take? She has no idea!

'Along the way she meets some very odd creatures; a crafty water spirit who tries to lure her to the water’s edge, a roaring Hairyfella who seems so scary but maybe he isn’t, and a peculiar old cook who is making stew in the middle of nowhere with crazy ‘secret’ ingredients. Djirra even gets messages from a little lizard! All of them have advice for her, but who should she trust?' (Production summary)
