Festival Planner

Kia ora

The first Spiegeltent venues were hand-crafted from wood and ‘spiegel’ or mirrored glassine in the Nineteenth Century. Touring through Northern Europe, they would bring the excitement of the Dance Hall to the small towns and villages that lacked these venues. Today in New Zealand we are lucky enough to have our very own modern version, the glorious Pacific Crystal Palace, and it’s our pleasure to bring it once again to Taranaki just in time for the start of summer.

Get ready for a fortnight of explosive fun.

Starting off is an intense weekend of comedy, music and cabaret from some of the best New Zealand artists including Jennifer Ward-Lealand, Julia Deans, Jamie Bowen and the 2019 Billy T Award-winning Kura Forrester. This gives way to a week-long season from the international smash-hit cabaret burlesque-circus style production Limbo. After years touring throughout Europe, South America and Australia, this show has been re-designed for the intimacy of our very own venue in this very special Up Close production.

See you at the Spiegel!

We are delighted to bring the Pacific Crystal Palace Spiegeltent back to Taranaki for 2019, this time as a standalone event - Spiegel Fest!

The programme is jammed packed with award-winning performances that we know will leave you in a state of amazement.

Puke Ariki Landing will be home to the beautiful Pacific Crystal Palace Spiegeltent which will help the city come alive as we ease into the summer and festive season. Over the two weeks we hope you all get to experience the Spiegeltent and absorb its grandeur while being entertained by our impressive festival line-up.

Welcome to the

Pacific Crystal Palace Spiegeltent From November you will find the opulent Pacific Crystal Palace Spiegeltent on Puke Ariki Landing ready to house a mix of award-winning comedy, powerhouse musicians, and delectable bursts of sensory dance. Seductive cabaret, circus performance and breath-taking acrobatics will leave you wowed and at the edge of your seat.

The Pacific Crystal Palace Spiegeltent itself is an impressive space that must be experienced. The Crystal Palace is a traveling 330 seat performance venue made up of 3000 pieces. The 40 tonne palace is based on the Belgium designed Spiegeltent of the 19th century; it features the same magic as the European style although it is brushed with hints of Kiwiana culture.

With New Zealand ferns on the ornate mirrors, paua set into the carved wooden pillars and gorgeous stained glass windows featuring harakeke, the Crystal Palace is a lavish space that will whisk you away and leave you smiling.

Located on Puke Ariki Landing the Spiegeltent will bring a vibrant ambience to the heart of New Plymouth’s CBD. Open in most instances one hour before performances start, with a full bar and delicious menu including platters and pizza.

See page 21 for the full Spiegel Fest Menu.

Booths are available and shows traditionally always sell-out well in advance, so book your tickets now to secure your spot!

Festival Precinct

The Pacific Crystal Palace Spiegeltent will also be our festival precinct, featuring a quirky outdoor chill-out zone complete with a food cart.

Located outside the Pacific Crystal Palace Spiegeltent, the food cart opens an hour before each performance. On days there is a lunchtime performance the food cart will be open from 11.30am – 1.00pm.

LIMBO Up Close Heaven can wait, this is one hell of a party!

A Strut & Fret production

LIMBO Up Close is an intoxicating mix of cabaret, circus and acrobatics that will seduce Taranaki audiences into a celebration of otherworldly proportions.

Directed by Scott Maidment, LIMBO Up Close whisks audiences into a sinister netherworld of breath-taking aerial acrobatics and jaw-dropping stunts.

Insane contortions and fiery hot flames are accompanied by exclusive devilish music by New York’s Sxip Shirey. His ecstatic melodies, irreverent electric-acoustic noise and playful, sexy beats are the perfect sound track to the irresistible cocktail of circus antics.

The stunning international cast of worldclass circus performers includes Coney Island’s sword swallower and vintage beauty, Heather Holliday and acrobatic tap dance sensation Hilton Denis.

Record-breaking, award-winning show LIMBO has been performed the world over to sold out shows in London, Sydney, Brussels, Edinburgh and Prague.

Are you ready for LIMBO Up Close to set Taranaki on fire this November?

“You’ll join the standing ovation at the end...

You’ll think ‘Julia Deans is so friggin cool, and she’s got such great hair to boot.’ You’ll be glad you got the ticket.” - theatreview

Both Sides Now

Julia Deans sings Joni Mitchell Joni Mitchell wrote songs that defined an era and a generation. She struck a nerve with her take on life’s little, ironic disappointments.

From honey-sweet falsetto to menacing growl, the voice of iconic New Zealand talent Julia Deans has offered light and shade to a variety of musical endeavours. From fronting Fur Patrol to co-conspirator with renowned supergroup The Adults to sultry chanteuse in Silo Theatre’s Brel, Deans has talent which soars. Now, under the direction

Supported by

of Shane Bosher, she is let loose on Joni Mitchell’s legendary songbook.

But this is no mere tribute show! In the hands of an interpretive artist like Deans, alongside Tom Broome, Sean Donnelly, Robin Kelly and Paul McLaney, this take on Joni Mitchell’s lyrical imagery is both profoundly personal and intimate.

Delicious Oblivion Truth is tough and hard as nails, that’s why we need fairy tales.

In a time marked by explosive political change, Berlin of the 1920s and 30s was the centrepiece of European culture. People yearned for freedom, peace and truth – and the dark dreamland of the cabaret hall gave it to them. Entertainers told defiant tales of broken love, blurred gender and brazen sexuality.

Jennifer Ward-Lealand, director Shane 12

Supported by

Bosher and musical director Robin Kelly explore the biting musical experience of Kurt Weill and his contemporaries. With kickass new musical arrangements, this is a wild rejig of the Weimar songbook. From Surabaya Johnny to Alabama, these rousing anthems expose the hypocrisy of politics and the art of the possible.

Provoke your spirit with the voice of the underground.

Kura Shoulda Woulda

Kura Forrester is definitely one to watch after two sell out seasons in the 2019 New Zealand International Comedy Festival with her award winning show Kura Shoulda Woulda.

Inspired by her recent history Kura lovingly reflects on her life so far and unveils hilarious tales of love, loss, whānau dynamics and pizza. Through playing wildly eccentric and relatable characters Kura unpacks her

“Honest, uplifting, stirring and hilarious…

Director Jennifer WardLealand’s expert input highlights Spooner’s own consummate cabaret capabilities…”

– theatreview

Super Hugh-Man

This award-winning* autobiographical solo cabaret by acclaimed Kiwi entertainer Rutene Spooner, is a musical love letter to the great Wolverine and Broadway star, Hugh Jackman.

Embracing the qualities that both Hugh Jackman and Wolverine possess, Rutene takes us on his personal voyage of discovery from being a young Māori boy growing up an outsider in a world for which he has no blueprint for. He comes to the realisation that it’s ok to be a different kind of man…

16

Supported by

He can be strong and sensitive. He can haka and high kick. He can be fierce and fabulous.

Directed by NZ theatre veteran Jennifer Ward-Lealand, Super Hugh-Man is a shamelessly charming and heartfelt story, intricately weaving together comedy, dance, kapa haka and song into a stunning show. * “Excellence Award”, 2017 Auckland Theatre Awards.

Troy Kingi

Multi award-winning Troy Kingi has been described as “Aotearoa’s Northland Treasure”. The release of his third album Holy Colony Burning Acres delves into the dark corners of worldly indigenous politics, namely colonisation and its effects on today’s social climate.

A stark contrast to the space psychedelia of Kingi’s sophomore offering Shake Your Skinny Ass All The Way To Zygertron, Holy Colony Burning Acres is a motivated commentary wrapped in an electrifyingly

Supported by

70s-styled deep roots/reggae offering reminiscent of such bands as The Abyssinians, The Upsetters and The Congos.

A hard-hitting exploration of major issues facing indigenous peoples all around the world is delivered through Kingi’s distinctive sonic quality, vocal style and poetry. All underscored with empathic Marley-inspired political consciousness. spiegelfest.co.nz ~ 17
