Heartbreak Hotel
Presented by: Tauranga Arts Festival
This one’s for the young hearts, the old hearts, and the broken hearts.
Story, science and a synth combine in an exhilarating performance that examines what happens in our bodies when we’re bereft. From acclaimed New Zealand company EBKM (Yes Yes Yes), Heartbreak Hotel tracks a woman’s broken heart in a wrenching and relatable journey that’s studded with classic break-up songs and razor-sharp observations on the physiology of love.
“Heartbreak Hotel is one of the best productions I’ve seen this year. It’s a tender-hearted exemplar of what can be accomplished when creative stagecraft meets authentic, measured storytelling.” ★★★★★ – TimeOut, Melbourne
“I defy even the coldest cynic to resist the aching charm of this unapologetically two-hander. It hijacks your nervous system and fast tracks its way into your soul.” – The Scotsman, UK
