Bolivian/New Zealand adventurers and artists Victor, Grigota and Erik Monasterio have performed throughout South America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
They have created "Orko", an awe inspiring audiovisual exhibition of photography, music and narrative.
Orko (Mountain Summit) explores the relationship between Andean music, photography, the landscape of high mountain regions in the Andes and Himalayas and the extreme adventures of first ascent climbing and Jungle exploration.
Original and traditional music interpreted with panpipes, flutes, strings and percussion accompany a backdrop of dramatic photography and personal tales in isolated regions of the world.
This performance is suited for the whole family and for those with an interest in adventure, world music and photography.

The Monasterio Brothers’ Audiovisual Performance “Orko”
The group consists of Victor, Grigota and Erik Monasterio (the well-known local climber), who are all originally from Bolivia and are of mixed NZ/ Bolivian parents.
“Orko” is a multimedia, live performance, combining original music played on traditional Andean instruments, with original photography, and the recounting of mountaineering and exploratory adventures in various regions of the world.
The photography focusses mainly on Bolivia, but also includes other parts of Latin America, Tibet, India, Alaska, Australia USA and NZ. The narrative relates to our own Bolivian culture and our exploits as adventurers and mountaineers, with some "first ascent routes" on rock and ice peaks in some of the highest mountains in the Americas and the world, as well as jungle explorations.
We aim to present a highly polished multidisciplinary arts performance that brings awareness and understanding of other cultures. We also hope to motivate individuals to participate in physical activity, music and the visual arts. The performance highlights family values and is unique and deeply inspirational.
As part-time performers we have recorded three music CDs and played to sell-out audiences in Australia, in parts of South America and throughout the South Island of NZ.
