Hear To See

Synopsis:
A young boy Ollie climbs through his window to chase the creatures he glimpses out of the corner of his eye, his bedroom slides away, and a miniature world is uncovered. Transforming The Opera House stage through the artistry of Sydney puppetry company ERTH, magical lighting, large-scale projection and a cinematic score from Richard Nunns, Ollie s journey is part exquisite dream, part adventure. From the everyday to the extraordinary, this is bona fide theatre magic for the whole family.

Te Rau O Te Rangi

Synopsis:
The narrative of the show follows Kahe's intimate journey and sacrifice in order to save her people. Heeding the warning from a prophetic dream signalling an invading force from the south planning to attack her Kapiti Island homeland (rich of native wildlife), she prepares for her only choice: to take her baby and swim across one of New Zealand's swiftest channels towards the safety of the mainland. To tell a story is one thing, to perform it, is another. The performance heads into the realm of metaphor and the performers must commit to an investigation of their own sense of self in order to share an experience with an audience rather than simply delivering facts.

Notes:
This year's work is an original piece, created through a developing methodology and based on processes of tikanga, a deepening relationship to Pakiwaitara (Maori forms of storytelling), Atuatanga (relationship to natural elements) and Inoi (recognising the elements as part of our inner and external selves).
