Description This courageous new work introduces a ten-member ensemble of Ma ̄ori women who issue a powerful challenge through oratory, choral-work and dance. Drawing on the tradition of Ma ̄ori women as writers of poetry and chant, and taking its title from a book of poems by Roma Potiki, Stones In Her Mouth turns a mirror to the massive social and political turmoil of our times.
Co-produced by December Dance 2013, Bruges; Carriageworks, Sydney; Tjibaou Cultural Centre, Noumea.
