The Girmit is a live electronic music storytelling using live sampling, song and poetry.
Miss Leading (AKA Nadia Freeman) for her APRA AMOS art music awarded piece The Girmit. With three sold-out shows in Wellington you do not want to miss this one-off performance in Palmerston North.
An immersive experience through the Pacific’s untold history of indentured labour from India to Fiji. A story of the many thousands of Indians kidnapped or taken through coercion & blackmail to faraway countries to replace the gap left by the slavery system for something almost identical.
Opening with local spoken word poets
Saba D Ha, Garry Dell, and Dorian David Leigh
And dancing out the evening with electronic producer Researchintospeed.
Reviews:
"Freeman uses the juxtaposition between her own ethereal vocals and the horror of the past to create an ambience like nothing I have ever experienced. Her music is performed as a superb electronic live show, with Freeman mixing and creating her own sound directly on the stage in front of the audience." - The Post
"A powerful mesmerising and moving theatre experience." - Theatre Review
"Freeman is powerful and enticing. She has the patience and conviction of a long-time performer;" - Art Murmers
