The power of Maori & Pasifika literature roaring to theatrical life, performed by a stellar cast of some of the best Tangata Moana actors in Aotearoa. In Samoan “UPU” means “word”. UPU is made from the words of a collection of Oceanic poets, capturing voices from across the Pacific ocean, weaving poems with theatre craft, using performance and a magical sound, light and projection design, to amplify the writers’ words, emotions and themes. Borders disappear and the theatre becomes a sea of Islands. Across the ocean, hear from the people dealing with colonisation, family, climate change, tourists, love, sex, religion and power.

Contains Strong language and themes R15.
