Open Stage: Scenes From a Yellow Peril

Taking a scalpel to these outdated and orientalist images, Scenes from a Yellow Peril violently smashes performance poetry, documentary theatre and political discourse together to create a kaleidoscopic vision of contemporary identity politics.

A rare opportunity to gain a view into the developmental process behind creating a play, playwright Nathan Joe and director Jane Yonge invite audiences to a rehearsed reading of scenes from their script, as well as a deeper dive into the core questions of the work through a post-reading discussion.

Contains strong language, discussions of violence and sexual/adult themes.

Please note that due to COVID Alert Level 2 across Tāmaki Makaurau for a week starting at 6am Sunday 7 March, The Civic Club will be set up according to Level 2 protocol for all shows between Friday 12 - Sunday 14 March.
