Details

Performed on a stage flooded with water, Vula (Fijian for 'moon') combines magic and illusions with traditional song and dance. With one rich and captivating image flowing into another, it paints an evocative picture of the lives of Pacific Island women and their sensual and spiritual relationship with the sea. As the performers move and dance through the water, they take us on a journey through a Pacific Island day and night. Movement, song and humour intermingle with the glistening water and lighting in a wonderful harmony of elements. Supported by Creative New Zealand. Run time 70 mins with no interval.
