Black Grace

As Night Falls

6.30pm, Sunday 2 July 2017

A poetic and optimistic ode, As Night Falls is the latest production by Black Grace - the sensational New Zealand dance company, fresh from its record-breaking US tour.

As Night Falls is Artistic Director Neil Ieremia’s latest evening-length work - a signature blend of European classical and Polynesian vitality set to the timeless and passionate sound of Antonio Vivaldi.

“Neil Ieremia creates a new masterpiece. As Night Falls is full of inventive choreography and thoughtful concepts.”

National Business Review, 2016

Following a sold-out Auckland season in 2016, and the 2017 12-centre tour of the United States, Cavalcade is delighted to secure dance superstars Black Grace, and bring their latest exceptional dance show to Marlborough.

“As Night Falls is bold and bright … a contrasting beauty and physical vitality, musicality and hope.  It is my offer of beauty for ashes.”

 Neil Ieremia

Founded in 1995, Black Grace is one of New Zealand’s leading dance companies. Neil draws from his Samoan and New Zealand roots to create innovative dance works that reach across social, cultural and generational barriers.

“Dancers impeccably present Ieremia’s choreography, leaving the audience in awe of their strength, stamina and accomplishment.”
