My Bed My Universe

Honouring the people, soundscapes and places that make us who we are and shape the worlds we live in, ‘My Bed My Universe’ is rooted in the rhythms of New Zealand’s everyday riffs. A genre-busting, eye-opening theatrical event that roams the perplexing space between the moment we wake and the moment we return to our beds to sleep, it’s layered with original live music, surprising sonic mixes, melodic vocalisation and beautiful physical theatre.

‘My Bed My Universe’ evolved out of a dynamic and utterly unique collision of some of New Zealand’s leading creative talents – a script by playwriting legend Gary Henderson, direction by the indomitable Sam Scott, the bold urban voices of Massive Company, fresh sounds from indie composer Chris O’Connor and mind-blowing modern classical music from the NZTrio.
