BEYOND
Circa
(Australia)
There is a line between
human and animal, between
madness and sanity,
between logic and dream…
We invite you to step over
this line…and go BEYOND.
BEYOND brings a bold
new vision to contemporary
circus; a blending of bodies,
light, sound and skills; a
place where acrobatics
and movement meld into a
seamless whole.
Circa’s performers explode
onto the stage creating an
alternate reality where mindboggling acrobatic feats
are sometimes muscular,
sometimes lyrical and
sometimes just plain funny.
This is sophisticated circus
for grown-ups who are still
wild at heart. It’s also an
absolute winner for kids.
BEYOND has had
rave reviews worldwide
and played to sold-out
performances in Wellington
earlier this year.
Festival goers who enjoyed
The Butler (2010) will love
BEYOND as it takes you
beyond anything you could
ever have imagined.

Micheline
Sings Brel
Belgian singer Micheline Van
Hautem calls forth the willing spirit
of her fellow countryman Jacques
Brel in a performance, which
has been hailed internationally as
mesmerising.
Accompanied by guitarist
Benjamin Hauptmann, Micheline
takes a selection of Brel classics
and claims them with the
sophistication of a true chanteuse.
Van Hautem’s vocal delivery is
pitched to fit each song whether
it’s almost breaking with the
emotion of La Chanson Des Vieux
Amants or cracking with the
devilish fire of Le Diable. From a
jaunty and coquettish Bruxelles
to an astonishingly powerful
Amsterdam, Van Hautem’s vocal
talents and stage presence evoke
the spirits of both Piaf and Brel.
Micheline has performed sold
out concerts in New York,
Edinburgh and across Europe.
Whether or not you know the

Arts Festival Dunedin is proud
to bring you the world première
of Gao Shan Liu Shui - High
Mountain Flowing Water. This
beautiful show comes direct from
China and is a China/New Zealand
collaboration that brings together
Chinese artists who are masters of
their chosen instruments.
Wu Na, one of China’s most
accomplished young players of the
guqin, plucks this ancient seven
string instrument with a touch
that awakens its great subtlety
and refinement. Her collaborator
is Gao Ping, a new generation
composer and pianist, who has
carved a formidable reputation in
New Zealand as an exciting and
energetic force in contemporary
music making.
Joining forces with Kunqu opera
star Dong Fei and live video artist
Jon He, under the guidance of
New Zealand Director Sara Brodie,
the troupe combine their innovative
approaches to treat audiences to
an exquisite tableau of captivating
eastern music theatre telling an
ancient story of friendship and
loyalty.
The Festival is delighted to have
facilitated this production with the
Confucius Institute and is excited
to host the world première here
before a season at Te Papa.

Presented in association with

The Borodin Quartet is one of the great
chamber music ensembles of our age.
Founded originally in Russia in 1945, its history
maps the Soviet era and beyond; they were
colleagues and friends of Shostakovich, they
played at Stalin’s funeral. They rehearsed and
premièred the Shostakovich quartets when the
ink was barely dry on the page. Now almost
70 years later, the players come from a new
generation but have remained true to their
roots and to the artistic excellence and integrity
that has always been a hallmark of this
astonishing ensemble.

This Other Eden
The Festival is privileged to present
Opera Otago’s season of the world
première of Anthony Ritchie’s newest
opera This Other Eden.
The storyline of the opera is based on
Michelanne Forster’s stage play of the
same name.
Set two hundred years ago, the opera
tells the story of passionate missionary
Thomas Kendall and his friendship
with Nga Puhi chief Hongi Hika. The
latter unleashes wars of vengeance
on rival tribes by astutely exploiting
Kendall’s unholy desires.
This great New Zealand story has all
the ingredients for gripping musicdrama: romance, war, jealousy,
manipulation, spirituality, clash of
cultures and Kings and chiefs.
Anthony Ritchie, whose opera
The God Boy premièred in the 2004
Festival, is one of New Zealand’s most
prolific composers. His reputation
for creative maturity is confirmed by
numerous critical accolades both in
New Zealand and abroad.
This Other Eden will be led by
international Dunedin Conductor
Tecwyn Evans and Director
Jacqueline Coats (Cosi 2008 and
L’Orfeo 2010). Principal roles will be
played by James Rodgers (Thomas
Kendall), Elizabeth Mandeno (Jane

featuring Dunedin’s Delgirl and
Invercargill’s Into The East and
introducing Jake Cropley. This
night of folk, country and roots
music will see award winning
southern musicians sharing
songs and yarns about the
South.
Delgirl, three multi-instrumentalist
singer-songwriters, sing in one
clear voice as they play roots
music bedded in tradition but
with contemporary themes.
Fluid, luminous voices meld with
guitar, ukulele, banjo and standup bass in songs that swing with
sweet-tempered ease.
Graeme Woller and Liv McBride
of IntoThe East, have gathered
a strong following thanks to
their tight performances and
crystalline sound. They’ve been
described as Fleetwood Mac with
the poetic and harmonic charm
of Simon & Garfunkel.
Jake Cropley’s talent was
discovered last year when the
King’s High School student,
won the ‘Queen’s Baton Song
Writing Competition’ with his

NEW ZEALAND PREMIÈRE
Sergeant Sofija Jovanovic
experienced The Great War as
a huge, black disaster – like a
relentless tempest rolling in day
after day, month after month.
Dr Jessie Scott, among New
Zealand’s first women surgeons,
refused to leave her wounded
men to incoming invaders and
her entire Serbian hospital was
taken captive.
Sisters in Arms is the result of a
wonderful collaboration between
Serbian theatre company Helb
Teatar and Dunedin’s Ake Ake
Theatre. Two gallant women, one a
Kiwi, the other a Serb, weave tales
of humanity, absurdity and futility
in World War 1 in the Balkans.
The Serbian actors draw from their
first hand experiences of living
through the Balkans Civil War in
the late 90s.
Soaring with live Serbian
music and song and rooted in
the physical traditions of East
European theatre, Sisters in Arms
is a vital piece of theatre infused
with colour, tenderness and grief.
The New Zealand première of
Sisters in Arms at the Festival
follows hard on the heels of its
world première in Belgrade in
September this year.

Direct from Britain, the
Festival presents the
New Zealand première
of this magical and
staggeringly clever, theatrical
masterpiece.
Dunedin audiences will
be astonished by the
craftsmanship of this creative
story telling. Cinematic
projection and cunning tricks
transform a suitcase full
of miniature cut-out paper
puppets into an array of
living characters and striking
landscapes to tell Homer’s
Odyssey.
This classic story is of one
man’s almighty quest to get
home and the perils of raging
storms and supernatural
forces that he endures on
his journey. With beautiful
illustrations and masterful
puppetry, The Paper Cinema
takes their audience on a
vivid voyage through the
high seas, to soak up the
adventure and encounter
danger and exhilaration.
Odyssey is a silent film
created before your eyes,
set to a captivating live score
from exceptional musicians.
This international production
is a joyous cinematic
triumph.
The Festival in association
with Battersea Arts Centre
and with the support of the
British Council is thrilled to
bring Odyssey to Dunedin.

A tub, a scarf, a stool, a naked
woman - what goes on in the mind
of a live nude model while she
poses? Human Fruit Bowl attempts
to answer that question while also
delving into the mysterious death of
Renée Monchaty, muse and model
to legendary French painter Pierre
Bonnard.
Direct from New York Human Fruit
Bowl is a powerful one-woman show.
Its star, Harmony Stemple, performs
with artful authority.
Her character has such presence
and immediacy that the invisible
barrier between actor and audience
seems to dissolve and the audience
are given pen and paper and
encouraged to draw.
This is gripping theatre which has
won the Fringe New York City
Excellence Award and the Creative
Award for Best Production at the
Prague Fringe Festival.

Edinburgh Fringe Award winning
Dunedin playwright Sarah
McDougall takes an element
of New Zealand’s social history,
the 1955 ‘jukebox murder’,
and weaves an intriguing intergenerational story around the
fictional Rosie, the widgie at
the heart of the killing. For sixty
years Rosie’s secrets and guilt
reverberate down the generations
in a haunting, humorous, timeblended journey. Repetition
reigns, a consequence sparked
by the death of two ‘bodgies’; one
murdered and the other hanged
for the crime.

Nick:
an Accidental Hero
Following a string of sold out
seasons, accolades and awards,
including a wonderful season
at the 2013 Edinburgh Festival,
celebrated Kiwi actor Renee Lyons
will present her stunning solo show
at the Festival.
Nick: an accidental hero is the
enormously affecting and heartbreaking, honest and true story of
an ordinary Dunedin man whose
life ground to a sudden halt after
a rugby accident. At the age of
27 Nick Chisholm, successful
architect, star rugby player, wild
and fearless mountain bike rider,
suffers a stroke that leaves him
with the devastating medical
condition known as ‘locked in
syndrome’ and he thinks his life
is over.
The play explores Nick’s journey;
the many characters that surround
and populate his life; and the
unlikely road to true love, all of
which sees Renee Lyons play no
less than eight characters.
You’ll laugh and you’ll cry at this
powerful story of love, friendship,
and triumph over adversity. Nick:
an accidental hero is remarkable

Sesilia’s visionary storytelling
interweaves dance, song, music

Olav Nielsen & Steev Peyroux
Image: Colin Wheeler Biro drawing
Image: Steev Peyroux Aramoana oil on board
One of North Otago’s most acclaimed artists,
Colin Wheeler, died in 2012.
Born in Dunedin in 1919, he studied at the
Canterbury School of Art and Camberwell School of
Arts and Craft in London. In 1951 he became art
master at Waitaki Boys’ High School. A very modest
man, his enthusiasm for his art and knowledge of
the subjects he painted was inspirational.
His well-known books chronicling the old sheep
stations of New Zealand, first published in the
1960s, were commissioned by publisher A.H.
& A.W. Reed. The research for these became a
labour of love with both he and his wife travelling
for up to twelve months at a time, staying at the old
homesteads that he portrayed.
Image: Olav Nielsen
The Magpies Said
His legacy of paintings include North Otago
landscapes and buildings and an invaluable
collection depicting Oamaru scenes. He gifted many
of his paintings to the Forrester Gallery.
Nielsen and Peyroux, both accomplished
printmakers, passionate surfers, friends and more
recently painters, come together once more in this
joint exhibition.
His contribution to art was recognised with a Queen’s
Service Medal.
Nielsen is an accomplished Dunedin-based
printmaker, whose colour prints are mesmerising.
His work is frequently allegorical, pairing his
Danish past with his present reality in the form of
dreamlike scenarios.
Peyroux, now probably best known for his
beautiful, textured oil landscapes shows us again
that the transient qualities of light and atmosphere
play a major role in his more recent work.

If I take the wings of the morning
Tall Poppies
In Memoriam Robert Weir Herron
Ears deaf to the pulpit throbbing voice, my holiday
eyes would wander across the behatted congregation
and settle on my uncle.
Parachute harness in hand, flying helmet
unstrapped,
eyes searching skywards, and soaring above,
the bomber that let them down.
Higher still the Scottish and NZ shields, positioned
too late to protect him or his crew. At 23,
life terminated mid-flight.
His name forever etched on a collective grave,
Durnbach War Cemetery, Germany. At 10,
I resented the war.
It left a fireside sadness flickering through my
Grandmother’s stories. Stained glass his memorial,
stains forever on her heart.
Be wary when planting
poppies. We are an
island nation.
How can we ask the wind
to fill our regatta sails
and then
complain,
when tall poppies are
knocked down.
