Part crime drama, part psychological thriller, Scorched Earth invites us into the murky world of an interrogation room, where a detective and suspect dredge up the history of a land dispute and the ghosts of an unsolved murder long thought forgotten.
Blurring the lines between theatre and movement, writer-director-choreographer Luke Murphy weaves a riveting story, striking visuals and fiercely physical dance into a tapestry through which five international performers delivery a climactic, tour-de-force moment of wanting, striving, deserving and resenting. Having astonished audiences in New York and Brisbane in 2026, Murphy’s award-winning Attic Projects brings its Irish grit and grace exclusively to Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival for its first Aotearoa presentation.
