The Night Has A Thousand Eyes

The Night Has A Thousand Eyes is an elegant exploration by two of New Zealand's most celebrated dance luminaries, Michael Parmenter and Lucy Marinkovich.

Paris-based concert pianist Jeffrey Grice and lighting designer Martyn Roberts bring to life acclaimed composer Lucien Johnson’s luxurious and melancholic nocturnes as the ensemble explores the intimacy, sensuality and quietness of the darkest hours of the night. Through abstracted vignettes that induce evocations of night and delve into the potency of darkness, the company invites you in to a space of contemplation and star-crossed wonder.

The multi-disciplinary Borderline Arts Ensemble is co-directed by Lucy Marinkovich and Lucien Johnson (Strasbourg 1518, Thursday, Lobsters). The Night Has A Thousand Eyes is their ode to the darkest hours before dawn.
