The Show Must Go On: Cast and Directors Speak with Mark Harvey

French choreographer Jerome Bel's restaging of The Show Must Go On involves a chorus of locals brought together for an intensive development period in preparation for performance.  They are a mix of professional and amateur performers of diverse ages, ethnicities, shapes and sizes.  

The tour directors, Auckland based cast, and Jerome Bel enthusiast Mark Harvey from The University of Auckland's School of Dance come together to interrogate Bel's process, his conceptual approach to performances and audiences and the particular flavour New Zealanders bring to his signature piece.

12.30pm - 1.30pm, Thursday 17 March.
Pacific Crystal Palace Spiegeltent in Festival Garden.
