Mokomoko
Performed as part of Kia Mau Festival 2023, we follow Moko on her quest to discover the truth of her origin story, and help her to stay on the path to becoming the wahine toa she was born to be.
How do you heal from intergenerational trauma as the result of a genocide that people refuse to acknowledge? Asking for a friend… #YesWeAreGoingThere.
Moko is stuck between a rock and a hard place. She feels that a stronger grounding in her identity will help her heal from personal trauma, but the more she learns, the more she finds there’s so much work to do.
