(on) Whatipu

(on) Whatipu is a mixed media journey through identity, immigration, and grief.

Nina encounters her dead relatives on Whatipu beach, the reunion she never expected and isn’t sure she wants. Unearthing the skeletons of her past to move on to her future she hopes to finally be able to finish the album she's been stuck on for four years.

Navi Collaborative is back with its third original play. Using puppetry, live music, spoken word, and film this is an interdisciplinary exploration of self-acceptance.

Set on the wild windswept shore of Whatipu our New Zealand Immigrant digs her toes into the black sand of the long white cloud.
