Manatees

Auckland Theatre Youth Company presents
Manatees
by Dan Goodwin

A hilarious, heartfelt, subversive, contemporary and interactive production that combines wellness culture, memes, the three-act structure, and a race against the clock. 

How do you look after others in a world of bite-sized connections and #wellnessadvice?

Manatees is a new play by Dan Goodwin, performed by Auckland Theatre Company’s inaugural Youth Company.

Manatees captures the feeling of living in 2022; scrolling through social media and finding comfort in memes, while hunting out vital moments of human connection. In the play, scenes flow into each other, only lasting long enough to glimpse into a world or a relationship. An amalgamation of short scenes; Manatees offers intimate, hilarious snapshots of relationships and conversations that add up to an epic, beautiful collage of modern life.

A play that asks us to come together to share when we feel alone.

Entry by koha, with all proceeds going to Changing Minds.
