Dear CAN Wellington,
We hope this production of HEAT will be of interest to you and your
members.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
$5 TICKETS FOR HEAT – Just get on your bike! HEAT has one special seat to experience the show every night! As the
production is run entirely off the power grid – using solar, wind and
renewable energy means, we’re inviting one audience member to create
their own power – watching the show on a monitor in the foyer powered by
an exercycle! Please note the show is 100 mins long – you don’t need to
peddle fast, but you do need to peddle for the entire show!
Please note – this production is suitable for years 12 & 13 upwards only
– contains nudity
Sincerely,
Brianne Kerr
Ice Floe Productions proudly presents the STAB season of:
HEAT
A woman, a man, and a penguin – theatre of the Antarctic

Sometimes extreme conditions push you to the extremes.
It’s 1999 and a husband and wife scientific team hunker down inside a
tiny, tightly packed survival capsule on the Ross Ice Shelf, wintering
over in the vast frozen Antarctic, accompanied by only web-cam, sporadic
radio contact, the amazing Aurora Australis, and a colony of male
penguins.
Struggling to maintain a failing relationship, Stella (Kate Prior)
observes breeding patterns among Emperor penguins, while John (Aaron
Cortesi) monitors climate change – until the untimely introduction of a
third character (Brian Hotter) blows their fragile world apart. Life in
the hut takes one dark turn after another, caught live on ‘cam’ in an
explosive climax where only two of the three will come out alive, just in
time to witness the first vivid streaks of light as it dawns on the
beginning of the endless day.
Echoing the real restrictions of life in the Antarctic and in the dynamic
spirit of a STAB show, HEAT will use self-sustainable energy means -
powered off-grid with lights, sound and electronics from low drain and/or
renewable energy. The production will look, as the Antarctic stations are
increasingly doing, to partnerships with companies developing sustainable,
renewable power sources.
Featuring music by recent CNZ Antarctic Fellow Gareth Farr, HEAT opens a
rare glimpse into the extraordinary isolated experience of being an
Antarctic scientist, being a human pushed to the extremes, and of the
sheer beauty of a winter in the Antarctic.
HEAT stars Kate Prior, Aaron Cortesi and Brian Hotter
