Experience the artistry of theatre-maker Lisa Maule, musician Michelle Scullion and special guests in this poetry premiere. Three years ago surrounded by books and thinking about constitutional change, Pākehā theatre maker Lisa Maule decided to write poetry. Revelation Valley is a selection of her writing performed by Lisa with titles such as My Capitalist Stapler, Cohesion is Also a Radical Act and Hate (a poem about love). Each night a different invited guest adds to the creativity.

Tue 5 Aug - Dylan Fa’atui - actor and community worker

Wed 6 Aug - Aische Arawelo - dancer & educationist

Thur 7 Aug - Eru Moriarty - Year 6 student & performer
