Where We Once Belonged
Watch Sia Figiel's award-winning book come to life when 14 talented young Pasifika performers take to the stage in an unforgettable way.
Overview
Sure, we know of Samoa, but how much do we really know about the peoples' stories? It's easy to forget that many other countries have grown up with similar worries, cares, hopes and dreams as us Australians. One production that will change and open your mind is the beautifully honest and hysterical coming-of-age story of 1970s Samoa, Where We Once Belonged.
Life is hard for Alofa, who is privy to violence, religious and colonisation disputes at home. Amidst her personal turmoil, Alofa and her friends Lili and Moa still manage to be typical teenagers, teasing the local boys, acting up at school, and dreaming of their fairytale weddings. Our generation has come to expect not so flattering book adaptations, but this one is a winner on the stage. Watch Sia Figiel's award-winning book come to life when 14 talented young Pasifika performers take to the stage in an unforgettable way.
Come and celebrate another world and time you may have never explored before – rest assured there'll be a lot of singing, dancing, laughing and crying out loud at the celebration of the Pacific life.
