By Tusiata Avia
A co-presentation with Auckland Arts Festival and Victor Rodger – F.C.C.
Steaming pig and McDonald’s value meals. Palagi boys and ruthless, authoritarian aunties. Jesus and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Hardcore Fa'a Samoa versus new Niu Sila ways.
In the wake of this unending colonial earthquake, six Samoan characters make their lives between two cultures: playing, gossiping, enduring, enforcing the patriarchal status quo and carving out powerful new identities.
Tusiata Avia’s revolutionary poetry is brought to brutal, funny, sexy, loving life by award-winning director Anapela Polata'ivao (The Factory, Think Of A Garden) and her electrifying cast.
