| Description |
Mother/Whaea Tama/Son takes unique Maori and Pakeha stories of mother/son relationships, and charts their passage through five milestones, each of which irreversibly alters the familial bond. It is an outspoken, funny and unsentimental glimpse at one of life’s most critical human attachments and the enduring mark it leaves. Created in collaboration with the actors, the five scenes have each been written by a different New Zealand playwright – a mother or son, Maori or Pakeha, each with their own story. This vibrant theatrical and audiovisual journey captures the breadth of human experience, from the absurd to the profound. It is vital contemporary theatre that draws on New Zealand’s unique perspective, both culturally and personally. |
