The Griegol
Auckland Arts Festival/Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki (AAF) was sadly unable to open on Thursday 4 March as planned, due to Auckland being at Alert Level 3.
We are working hard to reschedule much of the activity from the first part of our programme, including The Griegol, which was originally scheduled for Thursday 4 - Sunday 7 March.
If you hold tickets to this show, we will inform you of the new date and time as soon as details are confirmed.The current list of show updates can be found here and AAF's COVID-19 Ticketing Terms & Conditions here.
Trick of the Light Theatre’s new show is an eerie, elegant tale without words about death, love, grief and monsters.
After a girl’s granny passes away, she starts to suspect she is being pursued by the smoke demon shapeshifter from the old woman’s stories.
In the tradition of Spirited Away and Coraline, The Griegol is a mythic, gorgeously rendered dark fantasy for brave children and lovers of atmospheric theatre. Conjuring magic and laughter out of silhouettes, puppetry, live music and animation, it’s also yet another storytelling masterclass from the wizards of shadowplay who brought us the award-winning The Bookbinder (AAF2019).
