Artistic director Nina Nawalowalo, creator of the ground breaking “Vula”, comes back to the Bats Theatre this August to launch “The Conchus Season”. The Conch showcases an exciting crop of emerging Maori and Pacific performers with pieces moving from across an explosive cocktail of Tap, Hip Hop and Kapa Haka, through magic and illusion, writing and multi-character story telling. Audiences are guaranteed a night of vision and variety much like they did over the past three years with “Vula”, Nina Nawalowalo’s previous production. Last year, “Vula” enjoyed a sell out season at London’s Barbican Centre. The “Conchus Season” plays at 7 pm from Tuesday 18 to Saturday 29 August 2009 (no shows on Sundays and Mondays). Tickets are $16 full / $13 concession and can be purchased by e-mailing book@bats.co.nz. Ask the Box Office about school matinees.
