This one's for the young hearts, the old hearts, and the broken hearts. Story, science and a synth combine in an exhilarating performance that examines what happens in our bodies when we’re bereft. From acclaimed New Zealand company EBKM (Yes Yes Yes), Heartbreak Hotel tracks a woman’s broken heart in a wrenching and relatable journey that’s studded with classic break-up songs and razor-sharp observations on the physiology of love.
Heartbreak Hotel comes to Whakatū fresh from smash-hit shows at RISING Festival in Melbourne, Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Soho Theatre, London. Enjoy a hilarious, honest take on a universal human experience, and leave feeling all the better for it.
