About

MACABRE - POETIC - THEATRICAL

Whispers from Pandora’s Box was a commission for the New Zealand Dance Company’s ‘The Absurdity of Humanity’ season. Premiering at the Q Theatre, Auckland in August 2016, the work was a theatrical exposition on the dichotomy of good and evil within human nature. With a score created from mashed-up film soundtracks and absurdist scores, this black comedy contains Elizabethan-period inspired costumes, David Lynch style elements, and shockingly timed fight sequences. This work promises to present both the macabre and humorous. Kill Bill meets Elizabeth in this romp of surreal and action-packed pandemonium.
