From Stromboli to D’Urville Island

Martine Baanvinger brings another powerful, passionate and dynamic solo show to the stage. Red Heavens portrays the true story of Angelina Moleta, an Italian pioneering immigrant whose fate is intertwined with the forces of nature, a bitter family feud and her deep connection with Wetekia Ruruku Elkington, a high-born Māori woman. This dynamic play is inspired by the book Angelina by New Zealand author Gerard Hindmarsh.

Followed by Q & A with Gerard Hindmarsh and the actor.
