SUNSET, a 12-hour misremembering of Wellington in the 1990s was created by Brigid Connor and Paula van Beek. The free, all-night event was an expanded performance project inspired by the world premiere of Gary Henderson’s Sunset Cafe at BATS which they saw when they were young teens back in 1993!
The event paid homage to 1990s Wellington, as well as being a ritual for letting go. Created specifically for BATS Theatre's 30th birthday it celebrated the past, but also encourages the arts community to let BATS to grow up from its grungy youth and shift into a new phase. The event took over all three floors of 1 Kent Tce with food, drinks, dancing, design installations, pop up cinema and a live 12-hour broadcast on Radio Active.
