Overview

MaryJane O'Reilly's hot new contemporary cabaret work In Flagrante selected for this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. 

In Flagrante or 'caught in the act', has been a hit show in New Zealand from day one. In fact more than 10,000 people across the country have seen a performance since MaryJane O'Reilly first put it on a stage at Auckland's Basement Theatre in 2011.

MaryJane who co-founded the legendary contemporary dance company Limbs, choreographed the seminal Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony in 1990, and later as director of successive Tempo Dance Festivals has in this work gone back to her roots as a designer of cryptic, sophisticated, physical theatre.

In Flagrante is her very modern and very antipodean take on the cabaret burlesque genre. Contemporizing it with a bolshy fresh new look at female stereotypes delivered in a sexy virtuosic dance form.

And now it's been invited to do 26 performances at the renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August, quite an honour for a New Zealand dance-theatre company when you think of about it.

And that's what we're asking you to do...

We need to raise $20K towards getting our cast and crew of 9 to Edinburgh by July 28.

Creative New Zealand has come to the party, and with your contribution and MaryJane and husband/co-producer Phil's mortgage picking up the difference, we'd be as they sayhome and hosed.

Some numbers to think about:

$10 buys a G string

$25 drycleans a Marching Girls costume

$50 pays a dancer's per diem

$100 buys travel insurance

OR > Put in (say) $1000 and get back $333*...
