Life as the colonised and coloniser.

In He Māori?, Īhaka Martyn will lead the audience on a journey from total confusion to partial understanding - weaving together elements of stand-up comedy, waiata, and theatrical performance to explore the doubt, celebration, and complicated nature of identity.

He aha? He Māori? Is he? Maybe - it depends.

He Māori? is relevant. It feels right. It feels like the opening of a door. It is needed. This show takes something that scuttles around inside people, on their heart and in their skulls, and places it on full display. Look. Look at this show. Go when you can, and listen when others talk about it. It is necessary. It makes people feel valid.”
