solo theatrical audio-tour
Unauthorised Audio Tours of Te Papa
Te Papa Walkthrough Levels 4, 5, and 6
A surreal wander through our national museum, touching on everything except the exhibits.
A forty-minute audio tour featuring spy games, informed speculation, time travel and evasive manoeuvres. Just watch out for the red-shirts ...
A solo experience to be enjoyed anytime using your smartphone as an .mp3 player. This was the first in a series of audio-based works we made over several years – independent audio tours that offer an alternative take on familiar spaces. Think ‘site-specific theatrical podcast’.
Unfortunately Te Papa changed their exhibitions, so this tour is no longer workable in the museum. Still worth a listen though?
