      ATAMIRA MARKS 21 YEARS WITH THE PREMIERE OF TE WHEKE 

      Te Wheke refers to the Octopus, our guardian on this 21 year long journey from past into future, activating healing in this time we all share. Eight dancers and eight practitioners both tuakana and teina, explore the multi-layered dimensions of human experience, symbolised by the eight tentacles of Te Wheke. Solo and ensemble expressions of darkness and light occur within shape shifting worlds of floating black silk. Layers of symbolism emanate through magical AV patterning and mesmeric soundscapes with lighting enhancing all - both revealing and hiding.
