Direct from the prestigious Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris and in Liverpool, The New Zealand Dance Company proudly presents one of its most sought-after and celebrated programmes – Lumina, touring to all new venues around New Zealand this May.
Restaging the anthology programme, which was first performed to critical acclaim in 2015 and enjoyed sold-out seasons and standing ovations in Aotearoa, Germany, and the Holland Dance Festival, Lumina will return home from Paris and the UK, with the programme making debut performances in Hamilton (Gallagher Playhouse, Friday 4th), Christchurch (Isaac Theatre Royal, Thursday 10th) and Nelson (Theatre Royal, Monday 14th) and Auckland (Bruce Mason Centre, Wednesday 23rd May).
Set to a visceral and charismatic soundscape, and complemented by bespoke AV and light design, Lumina reveals the depth and vivacious energy of the dynamic talent involved. Artistic director Shona McCullagh tasked her team to use the connective force of light to bring together three incomparable pieces of contemporary dance from some of the finest choreographers New Zealand has ever produced.
