| Description |
Following the 1993 sell-out success of Forever, New Zealand's leading international contemporary dance company will present a work that left critics stunned by its sheer strength when first performed in 1989. Reworked especially for the Festival, How On Earth is one of Douglas Wright's finest achievements.
How On Earth is an essay on darkness and light, freedom and restraint, on power plays, passion and the metaphors of movement. Universal in its themes yet redolent of Wright's native land, this astounding work both shocks with its physical brutality and delights with its whimsical humour. |
