Auckland-based Red Leap Theatre is is bringing Paper Sky: A love story to the South. The company, which enjoys crossing the forms of physical theatre, dance, imagery, puppetry, storytelling and song, devised the piece for the Auckland Arts Festival in 2011.
It tells the story of Henry, a writer and recluse.
His heroine, Lumina, fights for her life in a papery world. When a woman moves in next door interrupting Henry's solitude, his story begins to take on a life of its own.
Pages fly, a woman is drowned, paper memories catch fire, love burns.
Discovering Henry's writings and intrigued by Lumina's desperate plight, the woman next door challenges Henry to face the truth of his stories.
A tale of light, love and courage, as two worlds meet in the mind of one man.
