The Bus is back.
Pat-a-Cake Productions presents Bus Ticket: Moving On - the re-developed season of their sell-out Fringe Festival show Bus Ticket. Transporting audiences on a new route around Wellington, this interactive experience onboard a bus will introduce new characters and gain momentum, moving more than just the conversation forward.
Have you ever spoken to the person sitting beside you on the bus? The smallest interactions with strangers can deliver unexpected insights, moments of blissful apprehension, freaky revelations and occasionally, a really decent chat. Audiences are invited to the next stop at a new stage, as Bus Ticket: Moving On shifts from busstop blues to broken hearts and back again.
This immersive show explores the spaces we forget to share, while offering a snapshot of our daily Wellington community. It indulges in the awkward, the ambiguous and the socially challenging aspects of the public/private divide, and asks what shape our collective journies might take?
Director Lily Della Porta says: “Bus Ticket was so sucessful earlier this year in Fringe, we decided to revisit and develop what we loved about it. Devising and performing on a bus speaks to our collective experience as Wellingtonians; public transport and human interaction are part of our daily lives.”
Pat-a-Cake Productions have been making fresh, physical theatre in Wellington since 2012. Their re-developed show exemplifies a trademark break with form and an eye for quirk and character, while exploring physicality to a greater degree. These devices work to illustrate the unexpected moments of connection between people moving forward together, who are often looking in opposite directions.
Prepare to be moved as a part of this site-specific work that reminds us how to share with the people around us. Book tickets online at eventfinder.com to secure a seat on the bus - it’s sure to be a riot of a ride!
