Join UK born award-winning spoken word artist and theatre maker Hester Ullyart in an imaginative journey mapping continents in this intimate, electric, political, part-memoir, part-story dreamscape. Drawn from Ullyart’s journalling since leaving Heathrow and stepping foot in Ôtautahi in late 2017, she is supported on stage by experimental music maker Admiral Drowsy in a new collaboration especially for Tiny Fest.
Not to be missed.
