Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki (AAF) - April 2021

Auckland Arts Festival

A final grouping of five exciting shows on Wednesday 7th – Sunday 11th April!

First up, The Haka Party Incident presented with Auckland Theatre Company is a provocative, resonant, and unforgettable theatre event that is not-to-be-missed. On from Wednesday 31st March – Saturday 10th April.

Next, Reb Fountain & The Black Quartet: The Boy Next Door will blow you away with an evening paying homage to the work of the inimitable Nick Cave at Auckland Town Hall on Wednesday 7th April.

Subtle Dances, the premiere work from Ballet Collective Aotearoa premieres on Thursday 8 and Friday 9 April at Bruce Mason Centre – and if you’d like to do some dancing yourself the New Moon Folk Ball will provide that opportunity on Friday 9th April.

Don’t miss contemporary dance darlings Michael Parmenter and Claire O’Neil as they perform four of the most popular partner dances of the 19th century at the site of The Thrum of the Tide exhibition on Saturday 10th April.

And on Sunday 11th April join Sistema Aotearoa in celebrating their 10th birthday at Tekau! with a free performance featuring 250 young musicians across a 100-piece string orchestra and choir of 150.
