Description The first Tongan dance-theatre work in New Zealand. Sesilia's visionary storytelling interweaves dance, song, music and dialogue, taking the audience through a universal family story of grief, sisterly love/hate, a mother's struggle, a girl's secret and a unique performance about hair. Choreographic elements of traditional and contemporary Tongan movements and of contemporary and ballroom dance are intertwined around the drama and humour of the story.
