A figure stands in a void, half-lit by a soft blue light. Their bearded face is half in shadow, and they hold a microphone up to their lips, nails painted a shiny black. Their other hand is pressed to their chest, a paua shell ring on one finger. They are wearing a black singlet and white pearls around their neck.

Takatāpui

Armed with only a microphone and a killer pair of heels, Māori shapeshifter Daley Rangi examines the spectrum of queer joy and violence with love and rage, holding a solitary flame in a blistering call to action.

Takatāpui shines a light on the shadowy events of just one night among many. Grappling with the infinities of self-expression, Rangi unearths the complexities of identity with welcoming levity and candour. How do microaggressions turn macro?

Contested memories unspool, vividly conjured by visceral lyricism, cavernous soundscapes, disco outbreaks, and macabre humour. An electrifying storm of story and sound, this is a transformative performance to haunt and to heal.

★★★★ “Biting and dark, yet still inviting...Rangi creates an ethereal world of queer joy.” Time Out Sydney
