The Floating Theatre
Winning Productions
(Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland)
The Floating Theatre is a purpose-built, fully operational theatre for an intimate audience of 30 people, floating on Whairepo Lagoon. The performers have adapted to this curiously restrictive environment with a banquet of theatre illusions that distract the audience from the one thing they seek: themselves. Meanwhile on the shore, The Floating Theatre projects a spectacle of its own to the lagoon and all those who come across it. Witness the intimate show from within, ticketed and performed by the metamorphosing troupe of two, or join the public on on the edges of Whairepo Lagoon to witness the counternarrative guided by a soundtrack and the lights of the city.
Two 45min shows each evening.
WED 22 Feb, THU 23 Feb, SUN 26 Feb - 8.00pm and 9.00pm
FRI 24 Feb, SAT 25 Feb - 9.00pm and 10.00pm
