Return Season! The Magic of Her Body: Readings of Katherine Mansfield's Queer Writing

Back after a sold-out season during the 2025 Wellington Pride Festival!

"She enthrals me, enslaves me – and her personal self – her body absolute – is my worship."

Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga, Katherine Mansfield House & Garden, and Vixen Temple present The Magic of Her Body: Readings of Katherine Mansfield’s Queer Writing, an immersive theatrical experience in one of Aotearoa’s leading historic house museums.

Join performance artist Vixen Temple and historian Kerryn Pollock of Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga on a journey through Mansfield’s sensual diary entries and sapphic-coded short stories, moving through the rooms in the home of her birth, Katherine Mansfield House & Garden in Thorndon. Live musical accompaniment will be performed by Ms Weeds.
