INDIAN INK THEATRE - 'PARADISE or THE IMPERMANENCE OF ICE CREAM'
There are no longer any performances available for this show.
Castle Theater
Take a wild ride to paradise with Indian Ink’s powerful new play by Jacob Rajan and Justin Lewis about impermanence – of life, love … and ice cream!
This glorious production is inspired by Ernest Becker’s Pulitzer prize-winning Denial of Death, and the vibrant, life–filled chaos of India’s most cosmopolitan city,
Mumbai.
Jacob Rajan delivers a dazzling solo performance as he channels seven characters, weaving the afterlife and a dash of Bollywood disco into the real life mystery of India’s vanishing vultures. A man trying desperately to avoid death is flung between limbo and his past where a rebellious young woman holds the key that may guide him to paradise. Infused with serious laughter, exquisite puppetry and inspired sound design this show is guaranteed to blow your mind and melt your heart.
With this presentation, the MACC welcomes back to Maui New Zealand's acclaimed Indian Ink Theatre, who presented Mrs. Krishnan's Party early in 2020 in Castle Theater. The company's series of remarkable productions of intimate scale that blend western theatrical traditions with eastern flavours have shaped Indian Ink to become one of New Zealand’s most successful theatre companies – 13 national and international awards, significant critical acclaim, standing ovations and sell out seasons in New Zealand and overseas. Since 1997 over 400,000 people have had their lives enriched by these original plays. The aim is to leave an indelible imprint on the audience's heart which is why the company is called Indian Ink.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS PERFORMANCE INCLUDES LIGHTING EFFECTS AND VIDEO THAT MIGHT BE SENSITIVE TO AUDIENCE MEMBERS WITH PHOTOSENSITIVITY.
Food and beverage available for purchase from 5:30pm - 7:30pm in the Yokouchi Pavilion. See dinner menu HERE.
