HEART GO... BOOM!

Show Info

Radical and rambunctious, explosive and gritty, Heart go... BOOM! takes Massive Company’s iconic theatrical style and kicks it up a gear. Heart go... BOOM! introduces Cypha Clark, Ingrid Lee, Molly Curnow, Talia Pua and Tane Te Pakeke-Patterson, five electric actors capturing the spirit of youthfulness through heart-felt physicality.  

Reflecting the diversity and passion in the world around them, the cast’s own experiences have inspired Heart go... BOOM!, a devised physical theatre production that champions brave and inventive storytelling interwoven with spoken word, movement, and compelling design. Bursting with big feelings, Heart go... BOOM! is a jam-packed, joyous celebration of life.

Founded by Samantha Scott MNZM in 1991, the Maidment Youth Theatre was later renamed Massive Theatre Company - a fusion company of emerging and professional artists.

We are a professional physical ensemble company, creating new theatre with emerging and professional actors, directors and writers.  Our work comes from real stories, reflecting the rich diversity of Aotearoa.  

We are also a leading company in developing both our emerging and professional artists. Through access to free workshops and ongoing mentoring/training, emerging artists are able to become a part of the company from age fourteen and stay with us throughout their professional career.  

Massive is a pathway, a whānau and a way to create excellent theatre.
