Award-winning theatre company Indian Ink comes to Upper Hutt next week (5-7 August) with their powerful new play Paradise or the Impermanence of Ice Cream.

This glorious production is inspired by Ernest Becker’s Pulitzer prize-winning Denial of Death, and the vibrant, life–filled chaos of India’s most cosmopolitan city, Mumbai. Jacob Rajan delivers a dazzling solo performance as he channels seven characters, weaving the afterlife and a dash of Bollywood disco into the real life mystery of India’s vanishing vultures. Infused with serious laughter, exquisite puppetry and inspired sound design this show will blow your mind and melt your heart.

"This afternoon it was off to Pāuatahanui for a kingfisher hunt with a husband who is very good at taking my hints about it being a beautiful day whilst staring at the birds that were flying around outside!
The kingfishers were certainly in the usual place, but not really being social with each other as they were on our previous trip.
I waded out in my wellies but couldn't really get as close to them as I would have wanted to! Here are a few shots of them on various bits of driftwood, some with crabs in their mouths, some without! It was lovely to also capture the spoonbills coming into land to have a feed."

Events include swimming, bowls, cycling, relay walking and Quiznastics. To up the ante, we’ve incorporated technology solutions to enhance events and to enable residents to connect with all 41 Ryman villages, including those across the Tasman, while they compete!
