Yo' MAMA
‘MAMA’ is a new physical-theatre work which examines gender, identity and Patriarchy
from a south pacific lens. Drawing from the origin stories of the Samoan Fafafine and
Tongan Fakaleiti, ‘MAMA’ is commentary from this generational perspective of the labour division which validated the act of precolonial gender fluidity in accordance with a patriarchal society. It also examines the differences in the rite of passage of a boy becoming a man from the past traditional landscape to a present western/urban environment.
A melting pot of comedy, dance and high quality Drag to create love letters to our strong Pasifika Mamas.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This performance has changed venue from Wonderland Festival Hub - Hindmarsh Square to The Arts Theatre since the Adelaide Fringe Guide was printed.
