Nest
At Auckland’s Basement Theatre on the August of the 6th at the 8pm Vitamin S presents “Nest” a shameless multidisciplinary crowd pleaser. Nest is a unique ensemble of 8 people.
Described as the crash test dummies of performance this anomalous batch of performers create a world in which the logical and irrational meet and have a big pash up. It’s a metaphor. Nest is a theatrical event evoking and invoking all the usual words you tend to associate with this kind of thing; Memory, Desire, Dreams, Death, and Memory.
Deviously deploying a heady spectrum of skills from the realms of music, theatre, and dance the roll call is thus;
The object focussed visual punster John Radford, master of cardboard and woo-er of women.
The volatile tsunami dancing of Julia Milsom, she actually CAN bring down the house
The movement savant Kristian Larsen, he’s like; Brain’s from Thunderbirds meets that liquid terminator dude from that Terminator movie.
The hypnotistical concentration densities of musical samurai John Bell. Try distracting him, just try.
On guitar the monosyllabic Paul Buckton, don’t mess with him if you don’t have any calamine lotion - he’s an itch that you can’t scratch.
On electronic sonics, Bonehead. He’s got a laptop, and he often uses it to go on the internet, Skype usually.
From the world of theatre Jo Smith, breaker of hearts the world over. And she just doesn’t care. She doesn’t.
Nimble minded Tahi Mapp Borren, a Jack in the Box of theatrical skill. She has maybe too many R’s and P’s in her name but that doesn’t usually slow her down.
There will be a short 15 minute interval. In the middle. And quite a long one at the end. Cost wise it’s either $10 or $15 dollars, depending. You should come along.
