Co-presented by Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company and Te Rehia (NZ)
A bold and humorous Maori twist on the classic tragedy in which Te Reo, original prose, and contemporary English come together.
Using traditional Maori masks (Te Mata Kokako o Rehia), this solo interpretation of Othello puts the spotlight on the characters Iago, Rodrigo, Othello and Desdemona, and places them into the context of a war between tribes in pre-colonial New Zealand.
Our adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic Othello places the tale within a Te Ao Maori context and pares back the story to focus on three aspects; character, the core story line driven by the characters very human motivations of revenge and deception and on finding the humour in this tragedy.
Chatting with Kyle Morrison about the final performance of Skylab tommorow in Carnarvon, Goolarri Writers Program next week in Broome and our next hit, SolOTHELLO. Watch till the end for Kyle's special message.
Thanks Kyle, Yirra Yaakin and Black Swan TC, Donní Gentle had an amazing time working with you all 👍🏽❤️😊
