LOVE/LOVE/LOVE/LOVE/LOVE on tour!

“Redman utterly abandons herself in hilarious, breathtaking fashion”

Leaving audiences with butterflies and stolen hearts LOVE/LOVE/LOVE/LOVE/LOVE, is an original dance/theatre experience that fleshes out what it means to be helplessly in love.  Brave, raw and unsettling, this work questions what we love, who we love and how we love. After a successful premiere season at the 2023 New Zealand Fringe Festival, where it earned the SYNZ Tour Ready Award as well as six additional nominations (including Best In Fringe), we are ready to embark on an exciting journey to Australia.

The show offers a captivating and heartfelt exploration of love's many facets, delving into the realms of eroticism, romance, jealousy, familiarity, pain, and more. Through a blend of dance, theatre, and clown, audiences are invited to question the unpredictability of love, unveiling its emotional depths beyond conventional notions. Described by Stuff NZ as a "high octane, purposeful performance" the show empowers audiences to embrace all their personal love stories.

Created and performed by Tessa Redman, LOVE/LOVE/LOVE/LOVE/LOVE is a masterful collaboration with some of this country’s most exciting emerging artists. Elekis Poblete Teirey’s ingenius lighting and set design casts a reflective and elegant ambiance that you can’t help but be captivated by. Jackie Jenkins’ (Current Bias) sound design adds emotional depth and dynamism to the performance. Trantham Gordon’s expertise in photography, design, construction and storytelling plays an indispensable role in shaping the very essence of the show.

TOURING TO AUSTRALIA

LOVE/LOVE/LOVE/LOVE/LOVE is set to grace the stages of two Australian festivals: Sydney Fringe (thanks to the SYNZ Tour Ready Award) and Melbourne Fringe.
