Nelson City Council

(New Zealand)

Do we control our destiny? Are our futures the product of our pasts? Do fate, chance and luck dictate our lives, or is it all just Random Acts of God?

Inspired by the Christchurch earthquakes, it asks the question — how do you respond when life throws you a curve ball? Do you get drunk, high, go wild? Or do you fnd another way to rise above it?

Contemporary dance weaves with live music performed by a six-piece band playing everything from cabaret tunes and country soul music to modern indie-pop.

This cheeky and offbeat cabaret, will take you on a journey of intrigue and nostalgia, with its beautifully melodic and dark tension that will break your heart and put it back together again.

‘A blend of live music and quirky contemporary dance that is ‘edgy’, earthy, and down-right cheeky.’  Theatreview

Hear local musician Katrina Kallil at the Granary Festival Cafe from 6.30pm, no charge.
