Leave The Light On is a storytelling experience reflecting on our relationships to “home” - the homes we come from, and the homes we might yet create.

Leave The Light On brings Whiskey & Boots' storytelling-with-music practice to Auckland, a city built on the overlapping journeys of First Nations Māori, third and fourth generation locals, and new migrants from across the globe. Each carries an entirely different, fascinating relationship to home. Through headphone verbatim performance, live music, an audio installation and the anonymous "Dear Home" letters, real Aucklanders reflect on their own connection to HOME.

Whiskey & Boots is a Perth-based performance company making headphone verbatim work that examines the challenges and contradictions of the human condition. Using storytelling with music, the team takes real stories gathered from a community and shares them publicly - low-fi, stripped back and welcoming, with the fourth wall gone.
