Description Paradise at the Auckland Festival is the world premiere of a new work by MAU. The work of MAU stretches the boundaries of theatre from the avant garde to the ancient Pacific. In Paradise, director and choreographer Lemi Ponifasio continues to explore the theatre as a way to negotiate the multiple realities of the Pacific. Echoing the Pacific experience, Paradise reflects the cacophony of paradisiacal visions being promised to the world today.
