#Repost @hotagc π€ γ»γ»γ» One of New Zealandβs most successful theatrical exports makes its way to HOTA after touring to New York, across New Zealand, and winning multiple awards. Wild Dogs Under My Skirt is an exhilarating theatrical poetry experience, celebrating what it is to be a Samoan woman with passion and humour. The thought-provoking and unapologetic work, drawing from Tusiata Aviaβs poetry, breathes fierce life into poetry, womanhood and the unsettling challenge of tradition and conformity. π Sat 6 Apr π« hota.tv/wild-dogs-under-my-skirt #WildDogsUnderMySkirt #TusiataAvia

Watched this beautiful film yesterday and laughed, cried, internally cheeeehooooβd and felt the tiny piece of my Tongan gafa (Moa from Vavaβu, thanks Grandma..) swell with absolute MAFANA πΉπ΄πΉπ΄πΉπ΄. Congratulations to all involved for crafting such an awesome tribute to the Taulanga U Brass Band – there was so much HEART in this film that will resonate with so many, I hope it goes far and wide!! A special shout-out to my Tongan sister @saane_green for keeping all those boys in line haha β€οΈπΉπ΄β€οΈπΉπ΄β€οΈ #RedWhiteAndBrass #StayFefeks

Wild Dogs Under My Skirt. The beautiful beast of a play that marked my post pregnancy return to the stage in 2016β¦ Iβve often spoken about how this show healed and shaped and gave me my first experience playing a specifically Afakasi role. And what a role, that of the writer herself Tusiata Avia. Articulating shared thoughts and feelings for the first time. Pages of exquisite words moulded by the only one who truly can, @anapelapolataivao π¦π¦πΊ Next week we pick up where we left off four years ago, in 2020.. performing off Broadway in New York on the brink of covid devastationβ¦ this time, to Australia to take new audiences on the unforgettable ride that is Wild Dogs. Spread the word, bring your people and weβll see you there with our red lips flashing ππ€ππΌπΈπ @hotagc https://hota.com.au/whats-on/live/theatre/wild-dogs-under-my-skirt @merrigongtheatreco https://merrigong.com.au/shows/wild-dogs-under-my-skirt/ @riversideparra https://riversideparramatta.com.au/whats-on/wild-dogs-under-my-skirt/ πΈ: @raymond_sagapolutele π«Άπ½
