| Description |
The struggle of the NZ Maoris. A rare and vivid insight into a bitter world where young lives are ruined by drug and alcohol abuse, family breakdown, domestic violence and unemployment. Headlining Aotearoa NZ, this stunning performance is a story of today, blending the harsh realities of urban life for many Maori people, with the richness of Maoris culture, myth and spirituality. WHATUNGARONGARO weaves dance and drama into a passionate play charged with humour and sympathy, articulating a modern Maori identity. |
