PA2023 Artists

Now in its thirteenth year, The Performance Arcade lifts its feet from the regular site and travels to a new public space: Whairepo Lagoon, Odlin's Plaza, an overbridge, a swing in a container, a floating theatre. In this year's Live Art Series, the audience is invited to travel, explore, and engage more deeply with this space: to discover stories we didn’t know before, and tread paths untrodden. These travelling rocks, moving bodies, and expressions from across Aotearoa and the World invite you to look deeper and longer at this whenua, and to travel deeper and longer into its past and future dreams.
