A Thousand Thoughts A Minute
A guide into the unequivocal world of Kristyl Neho, a self-confessed Drama Queen. Written and performed by Kristyl, this is a personal, often humorous ride through her life. From bodacious weight gain and weight loss experiences and the indisputable life of motherhood; to hitting rock bottom epically, and categorically finding her way back onto the path of righteousness. A story full of rich intense whānau characters and flamboyant, feral decision making – this is pure and unadulterated Kristyl!

The Hunger Strikes Me
Shared from the heart of one rangatahi, Eru Heke. An exploration of voice, dreaming and whānau.
What does it mean to be young, brown and living in Te Matau A Māui? Perhaps the hunger of dreams, youth, wairua and heart are different now? Perhaps they are not? Eru reflects on the question, ‘Who are we now?’ in an intimate performance of utter charm and honesty, full of movement and poignancy.
