Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
Storytelling at its most direct
Candid, revealing, funny and completely human: storytelling at its most direct.
How awkward was your first kiss? When
was the last time you experienced a death? Have you ever had
to tell someone for the first time that you were
gay?
They say everyone has a story to tell – and
we’re telling them.
Bare Hunt Collective brings you
back/words, a new piece of documentary theatre.
Five of
Wellington’s freshest acting talent have gone out into the
community to interview a range of Wellington individuals –
everyone from an eight year old girl, to an elderly couple,
to a young gay man.
Their stories have been recorded on film, and will be acted out on stage – word for word. Every movement of the person, every voice quirk, every shifty sideways glance, will be acted out. Honest words, from real people.
And if you thought it was hard enough to act out the lives and stories of real people, we’ll have their voices in our ears. Using iPods while on stage, we’ll be reminded exactly how they told the story.
back/words is a unique form of theatre, and is a performance that shouldn’t be missed. Check out the fantastic new show at BATS Theatre 17th-21st February 8pm as part of the Fringe Festival, thanks to Creative NZ.
