World Theatre Festival 12
Brisbane Powerhouse and Armstrong Creative presents
Where We Once Belonged
Armstrong Creative & Pipa (NZL)
Wed 15 - Sat 18 Feb 2012
Meet Alofa. Samoan. Devoted Charlie’s Angels fan. On a journey to find her true identity.
Lively, spirited and inventive, Where We Once Belonged is an unflinchingly honest, sometimes brutal, and wildly funny coming-of-age story set in 1970s Samoa.
Alofa and her friends Lili and Moa are typical teenage girls. They tease the local boys, misbehave at school and dream about their weddings. But there is a darker side to Alofa’s life; underneath the idyllic is an undertow of family violence, religion and colonisation.
Based on the award winning book by Sia Figiel and featuring 14 beautiful and talented young Pasifika performers, Where We Once Belonged is an unforgettable singing, dancing, laughing, crying-out-loud celebration of Pacific life.
Recommended for people aged 13 years and over.
Duration: 75mins, no interval
A free Q&A session will follow the 10am performance on Wednesday and the 1pm performances on Thursday and Friday.
