Red Heavens

From Stromboli to D’Urville Island

Martine Baanvinger brings another powerful, passionate and dynamic solo show to the stage. Red Heavens portrays the true story of Angelina Moleta, a pioneering Italian immigrant whose fate is intertwined with the forces of nature, a bitter family feud and her deep connection with Wetekia Ruruku Elkington, a high-born Māori woman.

This dynamic play is inspired by the book Angelina by New Zealand author Gerard Hindmarsh.

Followed by Q & A with Gerard Hindmarsh and the actor.
