Kaupapa | About

Kāore a Mia e pīrangi ana i tōna Māoritanga. Ki a ia, he mahi taumaha, he mahi mamae hoki, te mahi a te Māori. Engari, ka whiwhi a Mia i ngā reta a tōna Māmā. Ka huripoki tōna ao, me ōna whakaaro. Ka hoki ia ki te papa kāinga? Ko wai tōna Pāpā? Ka whakatika ia i te hononga ki tōna Māmā?

Urban Māori Mia, rejects her Māoritanga. To her, being Māori is too deep and heavy. When a box of letters arrives from Nan about her mum’s journey through womanhood, Mia’s world is turned upside down. Will she return home? Who is her real Dad? Can she fix the relationship with her Mum?

 

Ko ngā kaupapa o te whakaari nei, ko te tuakiritanga, ko te hononga ki te papa kāinga me te reretau o te ao Māori ki te ao Pākehā.

This show explores themes of identity, finding harmony living in te ao Pākeha and te ao Māori, and the pressure of returning to your papa kāinga.


Ngā Reta nā Te Huamanuka Luiten-Apirana is a total immersion reo Māori whakaari.
