From: Ōtepoti | Dunedin

"And he's coming in with the steel chair!" From award-winning actor Nick Tipa (Kāi Tahu) and with dramaturgy by Bronwyn Wallace (Late Bloomers) comes Babyface, a solo play about big time wrestling and small town Aotearoa. Whiplash is a professional wrestler and is the heavyweight champion of the world. Kahu is a 10 year old boy and has just moved with his parents to a new town. What do they have in common? They are the same person.


Directed by Sara Georgie, and with music from Zac Nicholls (Koizilla, Space Bats, Attack!), Babyface explores one boy's experience of growing up, fitting in, and landing a suplex in rural Aotearoa. Using a combination of theatre, music and choreography, Babyface asks what it means to belong to a place, and questions the truth behind the kayfabe.


So paint your signs and put on your favourite wrestling t-shirt, and let's get ready to rrrrrumble!
