The Griegol
Oct 28 @ 6:00 pm
$20 – $90
Presented by: Tauranga Arts Festival
A charming, moving, and wildly inventive work from Trick of the Light Theatre (Escape 2024’s Suitcase Show).
After their grandmother passes away, a child suspects they are being pursued by the smoke demon shapeshifter of the old woman’s stories. The Griegol is a gorgeously rendered dark fantasy for older children and adults in the vein of Spirited Away. Drawing from the techniques of silent film, it utilises silhouettes, smoke, puppetry, live music, and live animation—all in sight of the audience.
An eerie, elegant tale without words about death, love, and monsters.
