Goblin Market

THE DUST PALACE have thrilled and enchanted audiences across New Zealand with our exhilarating new take on circus-theatre. Now we're taking our latest show to Montreal. But we need your help to run off and join the circus.

GOBLIN MARKET is the next chapter in The Dust Palace story and is inspired by Christina Rossetti's iconic poem. Created by Eve Gordon and Mike Edward, the production pushes women to the centre of the frame: we explore sisterhood, sexuality, temptation, sacrifice and salvation. We test drive the production in Hamilton at the end of this month ahead of its world premiere at the Nelson Arts Festival in October. And we're already planning big things: in 2017 we'll present the show at festivals in Adelaide and Edinburgh. But our first big step onto the world stage? Montreal this November. 

FLYING THE KIWI FLAG
We'll be showcasing GOBLIN MARKET as the only NZ company at the CINARS Biennale. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity for us to make new contacts, build relationships with potential collaborators, presenters and New Zealand festivals and be inspired by groundbreaking new work.

Montreal is the circus capital of the world. It's home to Cirque de Soleil, �cole New Zealand de Cirque, Les 7 Doigts and the celebrated Tohu Pavilion. So we're planning a full immersion which we reckon is gonna be lifechanging for our company.

Living the dream doesn't come without a cost. We've had enormous support from Creative NZ in the show's development, but we still have a massive amount of cash to raise to fly the company across the world, suss out accommodation and pay for on-the-ground technical equipment. Your support, large or small, will make a world of difference to us.

Be a part of the circus whirlwind.  Help us show the rest of the world how it's done.
