In a case of art imitating life, Pablo Ruiz Henao's 'Swells of Raukawa' starts as an unremarkable boat ride. Hold on tight when things start to get a little unpredictable as the boat starts to encounter more turbulent waters. Take your sea legs and go watch the full performance over on our main channel!

Performed by Symposium Dectet. Audio by Alex van den Broek and Hunter Craig. Film funded by NZ On Air.
