Echoes of the past
Presented by Best on Tap
In keeping with the theme of the festival, Best on Tap ponders what has led us to 'be here now'?
What people, actions and objects have combined to shape this place we know as Wellington/Te Whanganui a Tara?
What paths have led us to make this our home?
What decisions, genes and character traits echo through generations to make us who we are today?
This show will traverse time to explore these rich themes, all with a good helping of Best on Tap truth based, grounded spontaneous theatre.
After all, what were our ancestors doing if not improvising?
