Running into the Sun
10 musicians, dancers and actors come together from far and wide for this high energy collaboration.
This show is a love letter to activists.
Saxophone, bass, drums and synths score passionate, athletic movement, searing dialogue and poetic text. This is a2 Company's most ambitious project to date. A powerful ensemble of 11 Musicans, Actors, Dancers and Designers hailing from all over Aotearoa and so-called Australia have converged to reflect how it feels to live at the bottom of the world but still care deeply about it.
