- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 25 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm – Fri, 25 Sep, 2026 at 09:30 pm (+12:00)
- **Event Description**: Some feelings arrive knotted together, blissful and aching all at once.

Inspired by words from Chris Tse’s new collection Dance-Floor Romance, this electric poetry event invites poets to respond to the line: ‘pleasure and pain share a heart’. 

Where longing meets euphoria, and nostalgia pulses through the body like the beat of your favourite pop ballad, Tusiata Avia, Hinemoana Baker, Simon Sweetman, Jackson McCarthy, Helen Rickerby, and Nafanua Purcell Kersel take to the stage with poems that shimmer, sting and seduce. 

Hosted by former Poet Laureate Chris Tse, guiding us through the beautiful tension where pleasure meets pain.
