We are delighted to present RESET 2020, A Festival for Aotearoa.

Towards the end of William Shakespeare’s career, in the early years of the seventeenth century, all theatres in England went into lockdown to control an outbreak of the plague. Bad news certainly if you were an actor or theatre-goer, but when the playhouses finally reopened, it seems Shakespeare emerged from isolation having written two of his greatest works, King Lear and Macbeth. Fast-forward to 2020 and while the rest of the world’s arts industry remains in pandemic-induced lockdown, here in New Zealand our own artists are coming back. We are thrilled to throw open doors to our theatres and galleries again to give our audiences one of the first festival opportunities anywhere in the world. Artists from Taranaki’s creative community and across New Zealand have returned to help us re-set 2020!

This festival is a celebration of our New Zealand and Taranaki artists in all their diversity. The programme is a smorgasbord of shows from light-hearted to inspiring and entertaining, audiences can expect cabaret, comedy, music, and theatre over the two weeks.

We encourage you to experience as many of these performances as you can. Book your tickets early, now is the time to fill your cup with creativity and culture!

Prepare to be reset and energised from this impressive all-New Zealand line-up, and all the additional events that make up this unique festival programme.

The Taranaki Arts Festival has a long-recognised history, and this year celebrates its 30th anniversary.

TAFT would like to acknowledge and thank festival partners, patrons and sponsors as, without your support, we wouldn’t be able to deliver or present the calibre of performances we bring to the region for this unique festival. Thank you for helping us bring Taranaki more alive with the arts than ever.

“Trick of the Light manage to conjure a truly rare thing; a story about magic that actually feels magical.”

– UTHER DEAN, THE WIRELESS

Tröll

by Trick of The Light Theatre It’s 1998. Otto is twelve but he says he’s thirteen and he’s pretty sure he gets away with it. He lives in an old wooden two-storey house with his mum, dad, and sister, a chain-smoking granny, and an ancient malevolent troll that’s living in the wall.

From Trick of the Light Theatre comes a lo-fi wi-fi fable. It combines storytelling, music and puppetry, in an uncanny tale from the twitchy edges of the digital age. As smartphones become light sources, laptops transform into skyscrapers, and charger cords morph into puppets, it tells a story both mythic and modern in the vein of Stranger Things.

“Farms are sound playgrounds! 40 gallons drums, brake cases, tractor suspension springs, circular saws, taut no 8 wire, everything wooden and steel, buckets, tubs and guttering...” – CHRIS O’CONNOR

Sunday

8 Nov

Farm Music The sounds of rural Taranaki will be brought to life playfully and surprisingly by a collaboration of participants in Farm Music.

Supported by

Renowned drummer, composer and educator Chris O’Connor pairs with sound installation artist Dr Bridget Johnson in partnership with the Taranaki Retreat and the Rural Support Trust to bring together a unique community arts collaboration focused on creativity, mental health and wellbeing support for participants.

When Sun 8 Nov, 2pm - 6pm

Farm Music will bring men together over six weeks to explore innovative ways to play with sound and to create their improvised compositions and sound sculptures in a rural environment, from items found in their backyard, shed, paddock or garage.

The men will work with O’Connor (who has performed with musicians as diverse as Don McGlashan, Trinity Roots, Neil Finn, Nadia Reid, Leila Adu, Jeff Henderson and the Auckland Chamber Orchestra) and Johnson, Senior Lecturer at the Massey School of Music and Creative Media Production in Wellington.

Come to the festival to see this innovative installation work showcased, meet the participants and creative team and hear the sounds of rural Taranaki in a brand-new way.

“We must make it possible for every individual to lead a good life, to win a place in the sun.”

– SIR GARFIELD TODD

Black Lover Award-winning playwright Stanley Makuwe brings us a gripping drama about war, politics and colonialism.

When Thur 12 Nov, 6pm

Expat New Zealander Sir Garfield Todd said the above words in his final speech as Prime Minister of Rhodesia in 1958. Ousted from politics for being a “black lover”, Todd’s ongoing fight for racial equality led to his house arrest in 1965, the starting point for Makuwe’s story.

Also performing Fri 13 Nov, 6pm

Compelling and reflective, Black Lover explores the courage to stand against injustice in a nation experiencing deep racial divides.

Chris Dent, the proud albino frontman Albi, Pascal Roggen and Micheal Young have crafted a stage show that’s brimming with energy and moments to pause for reflection.

The trio has a huge sound that is simply created by an acoustic guitar, electric violin, double bass and their three voices. Since 2014 they have gone from strength to strength touring in Australia, New Zealand and Rarotonga and in 2018 they took home the Best Folk Artist Award at the NZVMA’s.

They have been joined by new members Tomislav Skulic, Sam Loveridge, Sonia Wilson, Rob Mita, and Doug Robertson.

In 1949, Pixie Williams gave voice to one of the most enduring popular melodies of the twentieth century – Blue Smoke. A triple platinum hit that made Pixie a household name overnight, Blue Smoke was just the beginning.

Pixie went on to record a further 12 songs, including another single platinum hit, mixing universal themes and international music styles with the unmistakable flavour of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Wilson Dixon - What a Country!

America is like an enormous armed toddler at an all-you-can-eat dessert buffet, simultaneously eating and throwing pudding around the room. Who’s going to tell him to stop? Where are his parents?

A situation like this needs a calm, firm hand: someone with insight and experience, someone like Wilson Dixon.

Wilson Dixon’s latest show, What A Country! delivers cleverly crafted songs that reward the attentive ear! One of Aotearoa’s best-loved comedy imports, whose befuddled sense of self-deprecating humour appeals to any audience with a love of music and intelligent wit.

Schools Programme

Schools Programme With the support of the TSB Community Trust and Methanex, RESET 2020 offers students throughout Taranaki the opportunity to experience two Festival shows: Tröll and Super Hugh-Man. Tröll is a lo-fi wi-fi fable from Trick of the Light Theatre. It combines storytelling, music and puppetry, in an uncanny tale from the twitchy edges of the digital age. As smartphones become light sources, laptops transform into skyscrapers, and charger cords morph into puppets, it tells a story both mythic and modern in the vein of stranger things.

Tröll

Super Hugh-Man is a musical love letter from Rutene Spooner to the great Wolverine and Broadway star, Hugh Jackman. Rutene takes us on his personal voyage of discovery from being a young Māori boy growing up as an outsider in a world for which he has no blueprint. He realises that it’s ok to be a different kind of man: He can be strong and sensitive. He can haka and high kick. He can be fierce and fabulous.

DISCOVER A REGION LIKE NO OTHER. SURF HIGHWAY 45 The stunning Taranaki coastline is home to some of New Zealand’s best surf breaks.

Drive the 105km route, or take a surf lesson, or simply soak up the laid-back culture that’s given rise to many artist and artisan studios, eclectic shops and cozy cafés along the way.

THE FORGOTTEN WORLD HIGHWAY Trace ancient Māori trails and pioneering farm tracks from Stratford to Taumarunui.

Geographic, historical and scenic points of interest line the 155km route through the breathtaking Tangarakau Gorge. The village of Whangamomona, first settled in 1895 and which declared itself a republic in 1989, is a charming place to stop for a bite to eat at the Whangamomona Hotel.

ARTS AND CULTURE The magnificence of Taranaki Maunga has been a catalyst for creativity and storytelling and his influence is seen in many local art studios, galleries, and public art spaces.

Discover the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery/ Len Lye Centre, an art museum that blends

stunning architecture with contemporary art, and is home to the life works of pioneering filmmaker and kinetic sculptor, Len Lye. From the volcanic cone of Taranaki Maunga to the ancient pā sites that have marked the region’s hilltops, it’s hard not to get drawn into Taranaki’s history, best told by one of the region’s many great museums.

GREAT WALKS Taranaki’s legendary landscape offers countless opportunities to explore the outdoors, from New Plymouth’s Coastal Walkway to the Pouakai Crossing, Taranaki has a multitude of great walks for all fitness levels, that feature many hidden gems along the way.

TARANAKI MUST DO’S Locals suggest wandering through Hāwera’s King Edward Park or award-winning Pukekura Park in New Plymouth’s centre, climbing New Plymouth’s Paritutu, checking out Stratford’s Glockenspiel Clock Tower, contemplating Len Lye’s waterfront Wind Wand sculpture or discovering the vibrant street art throughout the region.
