Meeting Karpovsky with Helen Moulder and Sir Jon Trimmer
Meeting Karpovsky with Helen Moulder and Sir Jon Trimmer
Sylvia once travelled the world and
visited its famous ballet theatres. Now she spends time
alone in her attic, filled with her daughter's unwanted
possessions and photographs of her favourite ballet dancer,
Alexander Karpovsky - she has seen him dance 127 times. One
day the silent Karpovsky mysteriously appears and teaches
the stumbling Sylvia to dance...and to live.
Originally produced to rapturous response in 2002, Meeting Karpovsky toured New Zealand in 2003/4 and won Listener Best Play and Chapman Tripp Actress of the Year. Following popular demand, it returned to Circa and some North Island centres in 2012 and now returns to tour the whole country with Arts On Tour NZ.
Created by Helen Moulder, Sue Rider and Jon Trimmer with music by Tchaikovsky, Weber, Stravinsky, Adam and Bach.
