Nelson Fringe: Born in the Mediterranean

Born in the Mediterranean
Tarante
Whakatū/Nelson

A story of connection, culture and celebration told through dance. Follow Eva during her search for home and identity as she discovers the joy that dance can bring. With live music, swirling skirts and traditional dances from Italy, Spain, Greece, and France; dive into a journey across cultures.

Tarante invites you into a bold, immersive performance where traditional dances become a living story.

For the first time our dancers move beyond purely dance-focussed performances to weave a narrative, following the determined Eva through her journey across Spain, Italy, Greece, and France in search of her family history.

Live musicians accompany every step, enhancing the intricate footwork and rhythmic energy that brings the story to life. This is a show that transforms heritage into theatre - blending movement, music and emotions in a way that charms and surprises. A captivating experience that will sweep you off your feet.
