Te Tairāwhiti Arts Festival: The Savage Coloniser Show

Te Tairāwhiti Arts Festival and PANNZ present:

The Savage Coloniser Show
By Tusiata Avia

Following on from the Internationally Triumphant Production of Tusiata Avia’s Wild Dogs Under My Skirt, Fcc Theatre Company Brings to Ferocious Life the Acclaimed Writer’s the Savage Coloniser Book, for Which She Became the First Female Pasifika Poet to Take out the Ockham Award for Poetry.

With Packed Houses in Previous Seasons Across Aotearoa, Under the Artful Direction of the Formidable Anapela Polata’ivao, Avia’s Unapologetic Examination of Race and Racism Is Full of Bold Humour, Courage and Lacerating Truths. Red-sequinned Dusky Maidens Train Their Sights on James Cook, Samoan School Girls Play an Innocent Game of Patty-cake As They Describe the Atrocities on Nauru, and a Tour Guide Offers Instructions on How to Be in a Room Full of White People.

Fierce, Furious and Fabulously Unforgiving This Is Theatre That Is As Provocative As It Is Necessary – and a Red – Hot Ticket You Should Fear Missing out On!
