How is Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland City described outside of official city maps? What other kinds of wayfinding exist beyond our known pathways? These questions and more will be answered in a series of short artist films mapping out the city across the CBD. Wild Wild Life will launch on the Auckland Live Digital Stage, as well as in other inner-city locations, to create a walking map of the CBD.

Dragon Short Film

Dragon is a new dance-theatre film featuring artists from Japan and Aotearoa and created by Good Company Arts. The appearance of the celestial Dragon invokes an ancient connection to the multiverse. This game-like cinema opens alternative pathways, expanding geometries of the cube and hexagon, morphing spatial portals through the fusion of dance, music and digital arts.
