TEA (2018)
Co-produced with Auckland Arts Festival, TEA was a new work by local Sri Lankan writer/director Ahi Karunaharan. Selected by Carla Von Zon for the RAW Reading programme as part of Auckland Arts Festival 2016, TEA is a multi-narrative epic drama set in Sri Lanka that spans across different eras. It’s an exploration of how tea, the most consumed beverage in the world and the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future. The story is told in a nonlinear sequence, jumping back and forth in time.
A ground-breaking and critically acclaimed piece of local Asian theatre, TEA opened to a sell-out season at Auckland Arts Festival 2018 and featured for the first time a fully professional local South Asian cast and a pan Asian production and design team.
