Atamira Dance Company’s newest work is delving back into what the name ‘Atamira’ represents in contemporary, historical and future society. The literal meaning of “atamira” is “stage” and another meaning of the word is “platform for the dead body and the process of caring for those who have died”.

This new work will used the full space of the massive Shed 1 at the Corban Estate Arts Centre, in Auckland, investigating themes of death, aloneness, time, Maori culture, ageing and sexuality. An immersive dance theatre event, experiencing the structure, concept, visual, sound, physical, history, and now of what an ‘Atamira’ is.

*performance may contain nudity and sexual themes, suitable for a mature audience.
