Shel We?

The Globe is delighted to host Shel We? as part of the Palmerston North 2019 Festival of Cultures. Support from Pub Charity Ltd, Central Energy Trust and Palmerston North City Council has enabled three performances and a workshop in schools as the centrepiece of this years’ Festival of Cultures.

Inspired by the works of renowned American writer Shel Silverstein, choreographed by the Award winning Tupua Tigāfua and produced by Tupe Lualua, Creative Director of internationally acclaimed dance company, Le Moana, Shel We? is an enchanting, playfully intriguing and visually stunning show.

Tupua Tigāfua is a highly accomplished dancer and one of the most gifted ingenious storytellers of this generation. After an illustrious career dancing for some of Aotearoa’s creative elite, Tupua has steadily created his own dance style and has now developed his full-length dance show ‘Shel We?’.

“Finesse, superb technical skills, experienced performers… the dance movements and choreography is assured, well-crafted and clever. Tigafua possesses a highly theatrical imagination and a liking for clearly-defined movement that uses the full-bodied energies of the male dancer.” – Theatreview 2016
