Arts on Tour NZ is returning to South Taranaki.
On Friday, May 29 you will be able to catch the performance 'Meeting Karpovsky' starring Helen Moulder and Sir Jon Trimmer at the Hawera High School Hall.
"It's fantastic that Arts on Tour was keen to come back to South Taranaki," says event coordinator Jody Bloor. "The shows are of such a high standard it's great for our community".
Originally produced to rapturous response in 2002, Meeting Karpovsky toured New Zealand in 2003/4 and won Listener Best Play and Chapman Tripp Actress of the Year. Following popular demand, it returned to Wellington's Circa and some North Island centres in 2012 and now is touring the country with Arts On Tour NZ.
Sylvia once travelled the world and visited its famous ballet theatres. Now she spends time alone in her attic, filled with her daughter's unwanted possessions and photographs of her favourite ballet dancer, Alexander Karpovsky - she has seen him dance 127 times. One day the silent Karpovsky mysteriously appears and teaches the stumbling Sylvia to dance...and to live.
