"EMPRESS Stiltdance are of international quality and stand head and shoulders above the rest "

Chris Morley Hall
Cuba Street Carnival

KAHUKU can be performed indoors or outdoors (hanging off a crane) and takes up a circular area of 15m diameter.

We designed the show to fit perfectly into a basketball court or to beautifully enhance a "town square".

KAHUKU is 15 minutes long and can be performed up to 3 x a day.

" Buttle, who has directed, designed and produced the work, is really a "joy merchant" specializing in awesome costumes, whimsical beauty and delight. Kahuku delivers all of these elements in good measure."
Lyne Pringle, Theatre Review Feb 2010.

KAHUKU INFO PACK

KAHUKU
A butterfly romance.

Inspired by the incredible annual migration of the Monarch butterfly across the South Pacific Kahuku combines stilts, aerials, stilt acrobatics and dance to tell a fairy tale love story that entrances and lifts the hearts of audiences of all ages.

The show builds from ground based stilt acrobatic work into a spectacular crescendo of flying wings whirling through space.

KAHUKU is an ode to joy.
