Strange Resting Places
T1706661927
Italy, 1944: A battle torn theatre of the Second World War. The allied onslaught stalls at Monte Cassino and the 28th Maori Battalion find themselves centre stage. Performed in Maori, Italian and English. Strange Resting Places shines a light on New Zealand's wartime history and the complex bonds Maori shared with the Italians through whanau (family), kai (food) and waiata (song). Strange Resting Places combines live music, drama and comedy. It is theatre crafted from extensive research, contemporary storytelling and personal experience. Award-winning theatre from Aotearoa, New Zealand.
