Lisa Maule brings her collection of original poetry to the stage in this playful and thought-provoking performance 'Revelation Valley' celebrating creativity, curiosity and the everyday.

With live music by Michelle Scullion, these humorous and heartfelt poems wander from a "capitalist stapler" and the need to pee, to the winding hills of Karori and the traces of ancient trees.

 

Unexpected laughs, moments of reflection, and a fresh perspective on the world around you. Challenge your norms and immerse yourself in creativity.

“The energy buzzing between Lisa and the incredible

Michelle Scullion is such a highlight.”

- Gin Mabey, Theatreview

Writer, Producer and Performer: Lisa Maule
Musician & Composer: Michelle Scullion
Director: Jim Moriarty (Ngāti Toa, Ngāti Koata, Ngāti Kahungungu)

 

Lisa Maule is an award-winning theatre designer, creative producer and emerging poet from Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington. Best known for her work as a lighting designer, she has contributed to Aotearoa's performing arts sector for more than 35 years, working across theatre, education, festivals and major events.

She is currently Kaihautū Producer for Te Rākau Hua o Te Wao Tapu. Inspired by her exploration of Aotearoa's history, social justice and mātauranga, Lisa began writing poetry in 2023 as a way to make sense of the ideas she was absorbing. Encouraged by fellow poet Ruby Brunton, her writing quickly evolved into Revelation Valley—her debut poetry collection and performance, which premiered in 2025. Alongside her creative practice, Lisa is a passionate advocate for accessible knowledge as Vice President of Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand.
