   Over the course of 24 extraordinary days the 2012 Festival will take you from the deserts of the Sahara to the cultural centres of the world, welcoming back favourite artists from past festivals alongside others new to New Zealand – all key in shaping the cultural future of our time. I’m very grateful to these astounding artists who bring this festival to life. Delve into the pages of this brochure and you will find an abundance of stories from fairytales to Shakespearean tragedies, a return of the much loved festival tent, spine-tingling sounds from the Baroque to the 21st century, a heart-pumping season of Town Hall Gigs and plenty more to entertain, excite and savior.
   Extraordinary music, dance, theatre and literature – it’s all here, so start exploring! The Festival will begin in really breathtaking style while one of Wellington’s most iconic buildings will be transformed into a living, moving canvas by acclaimed New Zealand artist Michel Tuffery. ‘Larger_than_life’ doesn’t quite do this work justice. The beauty and history of the South Pacific come to Wellington in a big way with First Contact – a giant digital artwork projected upon the western wall of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. By bringing the ‘inside out’ from Te Papa’s extensive collections, Tuffery breathes new life into historical material recorded by the Polynesian ambassador Tupaia, and the scientists and artists from Captain James Cook’s three epic voyages – linking them with his own distinctive works and 21st century visual and sound bites. Innovative and utterly transfixing, First Contact will light up Te Papa every evening during the Festival. If you can’t make the live cultural celebrations on opening night or want to experience First Contact in all its glory again, go to festival.co.nz or head along to the First Contact hub outside Te Papa, wh  you can download a free recording of the live soundtrack.
