White Elephant
A ‘bastardised’ comedy of feasts, fetes and farce.
Overview
White Elephant collides three dancers and three actors in a ‘bastardised’ comedy of feasts, fetes and farce exploring the dark divide between the 99 and the 1 percent.
Three bloated oligarchs enter a new world and set about making it their own. A chorus of masked servants attend to and perform for them. The use of art to communicate injustice prompts an examination of the relationship between art and power. The show investigates the fears and fascinations of the wealthy elite, and the middle class that keeps them in power.
White Elephant is the flagship show of Barbarian Productions, created and directed by Wellington theatre-maker Jo Randerson.
