Still Lives - Gregory Lorenzutti Photo: Gregory Lorenzutti
Fans of rugby and art are bound to find a live art installation in Auckland this weekend fascinating.
Over two and a half hours eight rugby players will be tied together with rope, recreating one half of an interlocking scrum with lighting and sound effects to create the feeling of being in a rugby stadium.
The piece, called Still Lives: Auckland, is by artists Luke George and Daniel Kok, and will take place in the Auckland Town Hall on March 30.
They were encouraged to tackle the project here in Auckland by producer Nisha Madhan, who talks to Kathryn about the unusual installation.
Former player, sports journalist and Women in Rugby Aotearoa Trustee Alice Soper is a participant in the piece. She also joins Kathryn.
