Manamea - Season 2

Back by popular demand after their SOLD-OUT season at Q Theatre, the mega-hitmakers behind Pacific dance theatre shows Lalelei, Rosalina, Fa'asinomaga and now with their latest theatre show Manamea.

We are extremely excited to announce the homecoming of our Sau E Siva Creatives back to the Māngere Arts Centre - Ngā Tohu o Uenuku for a return season of Manamea.

A love story where "Palepa and Sitione" fall deeply in love with each other under a full moon, but due to their families' ongoing land dispute conflict, Palepa and Sitione are forced to be on separate sides of the fence line.

Both families forgetting that the fruits belong to all, however, the land belongs to our Gafas-Ancestors. Just as the moon has a significant impact on the earth, such as influencing the sea level tides, we as caretakers of this land must respect and pay close attention to our surroundings, even at the break of dawn.

"Amuia le masina, e alu ma toe sau." Blessed is the moon for it shall return.
