Armed with only a microphone and a killer pair of heels, Māori shapeshifter Daley Rangi examines the spectrum of queer joy and violence with love and rage, holding a solitary flame in a blistering call to action.
You ready, you hot brown honey you?
Takatāpui shines a light on the shadowy events of just one night among many. Grappling with the infinities of self-expression, Rangi unearths the complexities of identity with welcoming levity and candour. How do microaggressions turn macro?
Contested memories unspool, vividly conjured by a compelling combination of visceral lyricism, cavernous soundscapes, disco outbreaks, and macabre humour. An electrifying storm of story and sound, this is transformative storytelling to haunt and to heal.
