The Terrific Tale of Tabatha Talmus

From the company that left audiences on ‘the edge of there seats’ and ‘hanging off their every word’ in 2009’s Titus, Elephant Nation and Sweaty Heart Productions are proud to present the highly anticipated debut of their latest devised work The Terrific Tale of Tabitha Talmus.

A show for the generation that grew up watching such classics as ‘The Never Ending Story’, ‘Labyrinth’ and ‘Dark Crystal’, The Terrific Tale of Tabitha Talmus is a tale to rouse the imagination and seduce the senses.

Tabatha is getting older. She is getting tired. Things are black and white. The colours of her childhood are duller and fading. On her thirteenth birthday one cataclysmic event plunges her into her own imagination. The world is a blank canvas of endless possibilities, but can Tabatha save it from disappearing all together?

Elephant Nation is working in association with Auckland’s new ‘courageous’ and ‘sexy’ contemporary dance and performance outfit Sweaty Heart Productions. Together, they are bringing to life a devised, cross-discipline and collaborative extravaganza of actors, artists, dancers and musicians.

Inspired by original images from Elam graduate Anna Langford and movement directed by Sweaty Heart Productions founder Lydia Zanetti, the show has a strong focus on the creation of great works of art and the inspiration that motivates them.

Cast includes:
Melissa Reeve
Taofia Pelesasa

As part of the Elephant Nation Double Bill with These are the Skeletons of Us.
