Fresh from Dunedin Fringe and winner of the Auckland Fringe Touring Award, Flying Geese in collaboration with Inati Aotearoa presents: My Grandfather is a Canoe. To sail on voyaging waka in the Pacific with no land in sight is where this play begins. From prayers sung to distant stars and love letters to sun-drenched voyagers, My Grandfather is a Canoe brings the poems of Faumuina Felolini Maria Tafuna'i to the stage, accompanied by songs from the Pacific and illustrations by Silivelio Fasi.
