Thursday, March 19, 2009 at 8:00 PM - Saturday, March 21, 2009 at 9:00 PM (GMT+1200)
South Auckland's most wanted artists, Kila Kokonut Krew formed as a collective in 2005, spearheaded by Vela Manusaute and Anapela Polataivao. The Kila Kokonut Krew present poignant, hilarious and dangerous stories of the Pacific experience; stories told by children of the great migration to Aotearoa, and challenging the stereotypes of Pacific Islanders as bank robbers, cleaners, villains, the fat guy, broken down families and gangsters. 'Once Were Samoans is about falling in love, arranged marriage, race relations, national pride, national embarrassment, and national who-gives-a-f**k... oh, and who owns the land.' Theatreview NZ They sold out at the Auckland Comedy Festival, Hamilton Fuel Festival, Manukau City Arts Festival and now they hit West Auckland with jandal in hand!?Bigger, Better, and Blacker!!!?Written and Directed by Vela Manusaute
