Description Following the international success of The Arrival New Zealand's Red Leap Theatre returns with their magical new work, Paper Sky - A Love Story. Henry lives alone. He reads poetry. He writes poems. Then he meets Lumina, who captures his thoughts like the pages of a book. Henry lives alone. He reads poetry. He writes poems and tucks them into different places, his pockets, between books, under furniture. Henry has been on a few dates but they never seem to work out. Then he meets Lumina and he can't quite believe her. How she captures his thoughts like the pages of a book, how she wanders in his mind like letters on the wind. Love illuminates. It makes us bold. It makes us take risks. Performed by an ensemble cast under the direction of Kate Parker and Julie Nolan, Paper Sky incorporates striking visual imagery and physicality to unfold a love story as intimate as the space between two people and as epic as the sky.
