In a landmark trans-Tasman collaboration, The New Zealand Dance Company and Co3 Contemporary Dance Australia honour one of our most revered choreographers, the late Douglas Wright, with the restaging of his iconic masterpiece Gloria.

Acclaimed as one of New Zealand’s most magnificent artists of the 21st century and renowned for his beautiful, brave, and innovative work, Douglas Wright’s work has featured in five previous Festivals, including Gloria in 1992.

Set to Vivaldi’s most famous sacred score, performed live by The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Voices New Zealand, conducted by Dr Joseph Nolan, this exhilarating performance bursts with joy and hope as dancers fly, twist and turn in a graceful airborne celebration of life.

This groundbreaking triple-bill brings together leading voices from both sides of the Tasman, featuring brand new works by Co3’s Founding Artistic Director Raewyn Hill and renowned Māori choreographer and Artistic Director of The New Zealand Dance Company Moss Patterson.

Hill’s A Moving Portrait offers an intimate meditative reflection on ageing, fragility, and grace, set to Arvo Pärt’s Tabula Rasa. Patterson’s Lament traces a powerful journey through memory and resilience. Together, these works honour the whakapapa of contemporary dance in Aotearoa .

Exclusive to Wellington – don’t miss this stunning celebration of life and legacy in dance and music.

E mahi tahi ana a New Zealand Dance Company rātou ko Co3 Contemporary Dance Australia ki te whakahōnore i tētehi o ngā tino toki kaitito nekehanga, i a Douglas Wright, mā te tōai i tētehi o hāna tino whakaputanga, arā ko Gloria.

He mea whakarite ki te titonga tōpū rongonui katoa o Vivaldi, he mea whakatangi e ngā reo o te New Zealand Symphony Orchestra me Voices New Zealand, he mea kī tēnei whakaaturanga ki te hari me te koa, he mea iri taura taiea ake nei te ata mai.

Ka kitea ngā mahinga e rua kātahi anō i hanga: Tētehi ko A Moving Portrait nā Raewyn Hill, he mea hononga taupiri, he wairua āio matapaki i te kaumātua haere o te tangata. He mōteatea anō hoki nā Te Ururangi Patterson, he haerenga mana nui e pā ana ki te mahara, te hōnore, me te ātete o te ao kori o Aotearoa.

Aukati ana ki Pōneke – kei mahue rā tēnei whakanuitanga o te ora, o te mana o te kori me te puoro.
