HOLE - Green-Powered Antarctic Theatre

Wellington’s outstanding professional theatre creators want to premiere the development season of the green-powered black comedy HOLE, the second play in Lynda Chanwai-Earle's award-winning Antarctic Theatre Trilogy. HOLE aims to transform public awareness around urgent climate change issues through drama and to build on the interface between our Arts and Science communities.

We would be incredibly grateful for any amount you are able to donate. Your contribution will be helping our team to realise our green-powered artistic vision and to raise public awareness around climate change, Antarctic science and conservation.

Your donations also go towards supporting our free PUBLIC FORUM / Q&A with renowned Antarctic Scientists and authors Rebecca Priestley and Veronika Meduna, and HOLE's Key Creatives, after the show at Circa, 24 September, 2020.

HOLE: In 1985 the world woke to the discovery of the ozone hole over Antarctica. Its Wild West days at McMurdo Station and Scott Base, little more than a decade since the US Navy lifted their ban on women travelling to the Ice. Stella, a NZ scientist, Ioane, a US marine from American Samoa, and Bonny, a Greenpeace activist, meet during one Antarctic summer. What unfolds is as dark, funny and monumental as the discovery of the ozone itself.

HOLE builds on the innovative use of green-powered energy as used in the award-winning HEAT. The season runs from 22-26 September at CIRCA ONE with the Women’s Theatre Festival and is produced by Ice Floe Productions Tapui Ltd.
