Solitude - Presented by TAHI Festival 2020

Performed by Martine Baanvinger

“When the Roaring Lion calls my Henry, I’m dreaming hours down to minutes.”

The award-winning show ‘Solitude’ is telling you the extraordinary true story of Annie Chaffey’s struggles and triumphs whilst living for 40 years in New Zealand’s isolated mountains.

This performance is presented as part of and in collaboration with TAHI: New Zealand Festival of Solo Performance. This five-day festival is dedicated to showcasing Aotearoa’s finest, most engaging solo performance. TAHI gathers soloists from around the nation, and beyond – from established to emerging practitioners – to present work, collaborate and make connections across the industry. Alongside premiering and showcasing solo performances, the Festival provides opportunities for practitioners to extend the life of their performance work, to upskill, and to network through an integrated programme of performance, workshops, and forums. TAHI also seeks to foster relationships among tertiary institutions, actor training courses, secondary schools, BATS Theatre, and industry professionals.
