Bucking the international trend, Wellington readies for an embarrassment of arts festivals

MONIQUE FORD / STUFF/Stuff At last year s Performance Arcade on the Wellington waterfront, South Korean performance group MULJIL and members of the refugee community performed in tanks filled with water. As 2021 slowly wakes, we can look forward to a parade of festivals making the most of Wellington’s one reliably clear weather patch. While much of the world struggles with lockdowns and social distancing, Wellington’s free events programmes encourage the opposite. Later this month, the programme is released for What if the City was a Theatre? a new city-wide performance series across February and March encouraging us “to rethink the limits of public space”. It’s the work of ever-innovative waterfront live arts festival Performance Arcade, which will also once again spill voluminously out of shipping containers.
