K' Road Fringe

Auckland Fringe 2013 is in full swing currently and if you haven’t made it along yet, there’s still plenty of time to catch up with some of New Zealand’s edgiest art performances.  Risque opera at Galatos, interactive video game projections and spoken word performances are amongst an extensive programme of events running until 10 March.

Meet ‘Him’, at The Audio Foundation, a recluse, whose only connection with the outside world is a regular newspaper which arrives through a postal flap in his front door.  Salivate alongside actors Virginia Frankovich and Phoebe Mason in Gorge at the Old Folks Association as they draw you into a fantasy world inhabited by rivers of chocolate cake mixture and marshmallow fondue towers.  Or mosey along to Myers Park and St Kevin’s Arcade to hear poets, writers and rap artists in Spit it Out read excerpts from their own work.

Alternatively call into The Whammy Bar in St Kevin’s Arcade basement where theatre productions Dog Star -  a dark-world tale involving a mask, alien knowledge and a curse and Ticking Time Bomb – a two women comedy set in fictional small town New Zealand, are featuring.
