Fresh from its Dunedin and Christchurch seasons, this award-winning play performed to sold-out theatres and is now in Auckland for three shows on September 9 and 10! Don't miss out - book now!

Flying Geese Pro and Inati Aotearoa - a South Island Pasifika collaboration - takes us on a journey upon a voyaging waka through poetry, song, and siva.

Written by Faumuina Felolini Maria Tafuna'i, Directed by Marisiale Tunoka, Musical Director Hiliako Iaheto, art by Silivelio Fasi. The play also stars Lopeti Sumner, Lasela Sumner, Siaosi Kei, and Talia-Rae Mavaega. Produced by Pip Laufiso.

Adapted from the book, My Grandfather is a Canoe, 2020 Arts Laureate Tusiata Avia described it as "a waka to enter; sit and take in the vista of her world and the world of the greatest moana on the planet... [The book] pulses with rhythms of the Pacific: story and song, laughter and tears, drumbeat and heartbeat."
