Eat fruit. Love lust. Nelson Arts Festival is proud to present the world premiere of The Dust Palace's new circus theatre work.
Spring-boarding from Christina Rossetti's iconic poem Goblin Market, the show is a contemporary circus re-telling, following two sisters, their temptation, sacrifice and eventual salvation. Delicious circus is precariously balanced with gritty performances and candid story telling.
The Dust Palace is New Zealand's premier circus theatre company, having created and toured a dozen full-length works and innumerable performance art works and events. The Goblin Market is set to be their first interoperation presentation in Montréal later this year.
