Lovers Walk - A Poetic Journey in Eight Scenes

A short--yet infinite--theatrical odyssey written, created and choreographed by dancer Siri Embla and poet gus Simonovic, with video material by visual artist Peter Brierley-Millman and music by Jo Blankenburg (piano), Gareth Priceless (guitar), Dubtext (electronica) and Kotaro Nishishita (classical guitar).

Lovers Walk is an engaging, multilayered show, rich in content... physical, sensual and moving; an uplifting true love story told through fusion of music, poetry, video, theatre and dance; a majestic theatrical feast for your soul and all six senses. Two dynamic video projections, live dance and poetry.

Aroha, acquaintance, romance, affection, devotion, liaison - the show is about love in all its forms.

“Lovers Walk will reshape shapes and brighten colours in your love-kaleidoscope while telling you a story that you know so well, as it was your own.”
