⚡Tāmaki Makaurau Premiere ⚡
Ngā Rorirori is a comical foray into one whānau’s relationship with their whenua, and a brother’s quest to turn their coastline into a cash cow.
A rural marae has hit the jackpot – if they pass one final hurdle, that is. The haukāinga must convince the Government’s Chief Executive of the Department of ‘Whenua, Whakapapa and Whatever’ that they are the true descendants of their eponymous ancestor.
If successful, the vast coastline in their rohe reverts to their ownership, garnering millions of dollars… in back rent alone.
Ngā Rorirori is a comical foray into one whānau’s relationship with their whenua, and their quest to turn their coastline into a cash cow. Siblings Pillow and Manuela Rorirori – also happen to be the only two members of their hapū. Pillow a convicted fraudster. Manuela the well-intentioned pōtiki.
The multi-talented performers on stage include Mycah Keall (Mokomoko, Te Kuia me te Pungawerewere), Sefa Tunupopo (Shifting Centre, Tōrua) and Nomuna Amarbat (CHICKBAIT, Asian 8) reprising their roles from the 2022 premiere season, and Manuel Solomon (Shortland Street, The Beautiful Ones) and Stela Dara (Show Do Cafe) both joining the production for the first time.
Featuring design by Mark McEntyre, Natasha James, MĀ & WYNONA and Sopheak Seng, Ngā Rorirori will be presented throughout Aotearoa in September 2024.
