'ENUA

'ENUA
by Vivian Hosking-Aue, AUĒ Dance Company & The House of VA

An introspective celebration of Pacific people, 'ENUA (formerly Territory) was originally created and choreographed in 2014 by Vivian Hosking-Aue. (AUĒ Dance Company)

A decade later Vivian brings this compelling work back to life, reinvented as a Pacific Couture fashion and Pacific dance show that questions how we interact with people from different social-cultural areas to ourselves.

In the 1970’s Pacific Islands immigrants populated Ponsonby and created a lively cultural energy. Today, Ponsonby is filled with classy restaurants and expensive shops, and it is South Auckland that contrasts as a predominantly Pacific Islands populated low socio-economic area.

What if South Auckland was Ponsonby today? Would Aucklanders walk the way they walk? Would they talk the way they talk?
