Flames

1h 10m Comedy, Crime, Musical, Mystery, Hip Hop, Theatre, Live Performance 2023

Performed as part of Kia Mau Festival 2023, ‘Flames’ is an innovative fusion of theatre, musical theatre and hip-hop music presented through a detective drama with Aotearoa flavour.

Private detectives Morgan Reid and Ian Sheff attempt to solve a series of arsons across Wellington city. Their inability to cooperate forces the two to rely on outside help, unintentionally constructing a band of misfits.

‘Flames’ is a one-of-a-kind show by Toi Whakaari graduates Roy Iro and Reon Bell that celebrates the whakapapa of Hip-hop culture in Aotearoa.

Kia Mau Live Performance Season is a high calibre digital theatre experience showcasing some of the best mana whenua, tangata whenua and tangata moana artists. This selection is representative of the Kia Mau Festival kaupapa - Contemporary, Indigenous, Artist Led, Excellence. Kia mau is a call to hold fast. Kia Mau is about us all. Here. Now.

Kia Mau Live Performance Season streams from 8PM 27 July 2023 - 8PM 09 September ‘23.
