| Description |
A unique visual and aural experience, Instructions for Modern Living creates an after hours montage of New Zealand living rooms and nightspots - an urban and suburban portrait of the way we live. The show features monologues by writer Duncan Sarkies and live music by Nic McGowan who plays Rhodes piano, vintage synthesiser, vibraphone and “various other antiquated gizmos.” Moody and introspective, Instructions for Modern Living is a live-music time capsule - an interpretation of what goes on behind closed doors in New Zealand homes as we try to find out place in a changing society and our souls in a commercialised world. |
