Echoes of the Past - NZIF 2025
In keeping with the theme of 2025’s NZ Improv Festival, Best on Tap ponders what has led us to “be here now”? What people, actions and objects have combined to shape this place we know as Wellington/Te Whanganui a Tara? What paths have led us to make this our home? What decisions, genes and character traits echo through generations to make us who we are today? This show traverses time to explore these rich themes, all with a good helping of Best on Tap’s truth-based, grounded spontaneous theatre.
After all, what were our ancestors doing if not improvising?
“Fine craft, strong ensemble connection, and a willingness to weave joy and melancholy together, Best On Tap offers something rare: improvised theatre that looked both backward and inward, finding humanity in the echoes that shape us.” ~ Theatreview
