A "comic love story of epic proportions" will be told with the aid of Balinese masks next month at Baycourt.
Auckland's Indian Ink latest show is Kiss the Fish - another award-winning show using the production company's signature use of Balinese masks, ancient theatrics and modern pop culture. Kiss the
Fish is based on a true story.
The story is centred in the sleepy island of Karukam. A new resort promises a brighter future for all until fate puts the hopes of the community in the hands of Sidu...the village idiot.
Like all Indian Ink productions, including the hugely successful Krishnan's Dairy, comedy plays a big part in the play. Most of their plays are written with thought provoking undertones.
Jacob has been fascinated with masks since he was young. "They engage the audience," he says, adding masks and puppetry don't translate anywhere else, they are at their best in theatre.
