Meremere at Sydney Opera House

An award-winning performance documentary from renowned dancer and performer Rodney Bell Ngti Maniapoto, Meremere draws on Bells Maori culture, creating a richly layered work of art through spoken word, music, dance and audio visuals. Known for his physically integrated performance, he was paralysed from the chest down following a motorbike accident 31 years ago, and then took to the stage where his wheelchair became a fluid extension of his body. Bell reveals his journey from principal dancer in Californias AXIS Dance Company, to a devastating period of homelessness on the streets of San Francisco.
