He Māori?
By Isaac Martyn
A comedic, musical exploration into the absurdity of being both the colonised and coloniser in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
When: 6:00pm, 16–17 September
Where: The Dome, BATS Theatre, 1 Kent Tce
Cost: $22 · $20 · $18
What does it mean to reclaim Māoritanga from a Pākehā upbringing?
Returning to BATS after a sold-out first season, Isaac 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 the complicated nature of identity.
He aha? He Māori? Is he? Maybe - it depends.
