Aotearoa’s leading subversive and anarchic theatre-makers and collaborators, Julia Croft and Nisha Madhan return to Auckland stages with Thelma and Louise Don’t Die, a mad, entertaining, and utterly joyful new work in their trademark provocative style.

Smashing together cinema, celestial bodies and the distorted sounds of Elvis Presley’s back catalogue, Thelma and Louise Don’t Die is a feminist theatrical reimagining of the classic road movie.  Witness two women running from something, looking for something else, teetering on the edge of the cliff of existence, while their worlds fall apart around them.

With all the drama and spectacle of a full-on festival show, this immersive experience splits the film’s threads into a dreamscape of images and half recognised Americana, all while ascending to the stars in a life-sized 1970s Triumph.

Thelma and Louise hurtle into deep space.

Thelma and Louise fall deep into the Earth’s core.

Thelma and Louise still drive through endless deserts to this day.
