Description This Rugged Beauty is an anarchic, unhinged and hilarious performance taking a hard look at what it means to be branded 'Kiwi'. It explores the way advertisements and media sell us the myths of who we are. On a voyage to discover what their country means to them, Binge Culture Collective have spent the past few months watching beer advertisements, Shortland Street, and the brewing excitement of the Rugby World Cup. This Rugged Beauty is both a huge, doomed advertisement for NZ, and a nostalgic memoir of childhood summers at the batch.
