A HANDFUL OF SOIL

About the show

In the volcanic highlands of Taranaki, Mäori real estate agent Tümata Honeyfield has one job: sell a plot of land to one of the wealthiest people on the planet. Simple. But as fg closes in around the mountain and the ground begins to stir, what started as a routine property inspection becomes a deal that refuses to close. One has come to buy the future, but the other remembers the beginning. As negotiations unravel and the heat rises, both discover that some things can't be bought. Weaving volatile, mythic drama with an original score threaded with taonga püoro, award-winning Te Ätiawa Mäori storyteller Daley Rangi crafts a bold, elemental theatrical encounter. Multi-awrd shortlisted, A Handful of Soil is an eerie new thriller about land, power and the price of paradise.
