A Nomadic Storyteller Tours North Island with Award-Winning Show Exploring Dark Truths of Globalization

Hideto Ambiguous now launches from Wellington his North Island tour of the one-man tragicomedy “The Unfolding of Benjamin’s Misery” which won Best Words and Ideas Award at Melbourne Fringe Festival 2019.
