Nau mai haere mai ki Te Ahurei Toi O Tāmaki Makaurau. Welcome to Auckland Arts Festival. We

are delighted to host you.

The Festival moves through moments in history and reflects on the impact they have on our

world. It moves across cultures and into places where there are no borders. It shows us human

beings coming together through music, performance and art.

We are delighted to present this momentous and inspired multi-disciplinary work, and offer our

thanks to the artists whose vision, hard work and passion made it happen. Congratulations John,

Jasmine, Mathew and all the artists from around the world who participated in this ground-

breaking work. And thank you to our commissioning partners and supporters.

NO MAN’S LAND

GREAT HALL, AUCKLAND TOWN HALL

FRIDAY 4 MARCH, 8:00 PM

ORIGINAL ARMENIAN LYRICS, FROM POSTLUDE (LAMENTOS) - SERJ TANKIAN

COMPOSER’S INTRODUCTION – JOHN PSATHAS

Why musicians travelling in the footsteps of soldiers 100 years ago? If we could go back in time and say to

those on the battlefields “guess what happens here in 100 years” – would they believe us? If we said the

same thing to those fighting now, would they believe us? Would we believe ourselves?

We now wage war on our own species. But even at our worst, humanity and empathy continue to survive.

Our story culminates in acts of kindness: soldiers from opposing sides, ‘enemies’, offering each other water,

a cigarette, a shoulder to lean on. Even – incredibly – in what is surely one of the most bizarre and

dangerous inventions of the human mind: a place called no man’s land.

Life is searching within us for a concert of

boiling blood

Death is getting us closer to the entrance of

Being

Dear God

Heaven and Hell,

It's this life

Humanity eternally lost

The pure love on the face of a child

Is the victory, our road
