No Man's Land Launches online

No Man’s Land, the ambitious WWI ‘cinematic performance’ by composer John Psathas and directed by Story Shop’s Jasmine Millet, has pressed ‘play’ on a dedicated project website. 

The website will grow over the next few months, leading up to the work’s New Zealand premiere in February 2016. 

The project brings together musicians from around the world to perform a new, mega-symphony on the former battlefields of World War I. Set in France, Belgium, Poland and Turkey it’s set to be unlike any other centenary commemoration. We’ll keep the updates coming here too so watch this space...

Credits roll on the final show....

It's barely been a week since the talented men and women of Groupe F left our shores after 3 jaw-dropping shows for the Auckland Arts Festival. I had the privilege of being their local assistant while in Auckland and seeing up close all the work and preparation that goes into putting on a show of this scale. There is a huge amount of effort, sweat and passion that goes into putting on these shows..and even as it happened a bit of blood...The result is truly F..ing Amazing!
