HEAT @ Circa 2, 25 Jan - 19 Feb

What would you do if you found your wife in bed with an Emperor Penguin?

Echoing restrictions of life in the Antarctic, award winning theatre show HEAT brings its own alternative energy source to power a very original love story between a woman, a man and a penguin.

“Exciting and intriguing … a gripping and moving tale of magical realism.” Laurie Atkinson, Dominion Post

The Ross Ice Shelf: Husband and wife scientific team hunker down inside a tiny, tightly packed survival capsule, wintering over in the vast frozen Antarctic, accompanied by only web-cam, sporadic radio contact, the amazing Aurora Australis, and a colony of male penguins.
