Sep 20, 2019 What's On
A weekly round-up of what’s on in Auckland so you can plan your weekend and the week ahead.
RECLAMATION by FAFSWAG
First time director and performance artist Elyssia Wilson Heti has created this project, which the queer art collective FAFSWAG describes as being about “female pleasure and desire from a Pacific lens that privileges bigger full-sized womxn of colour”. Heti has intentionally employed 90% indigenous women of colour (both on and off stage) to create the project. Featuring sweet tracks and edible props, the season’s run sounds intriguing, fun and empowering.
