Description Parisian sensibilities and South Pacific culture collide in playwright Stuart Hoar’s dazzling re-imagining of French artist Charles Meryon’s life in 1860s Paris. Haunted by time spent in Akaroa, French artist Charles Meryon's startling visions compel him to depict whales and waka over the skies of Paris in his remarkable etchings. he must also juggle relationships with his friend - the decadent poet Baudelaire - and two striking women.
