About the show

Today is the hottest day of the year and Nanna Maria wants a feast. She wants all of the grandkids here, but none of her children – they’re all “bloody useless”. She wants a big, long table outside and a pig on a spit. She wants to make it real flash, she wants tablecloths and stuff. And a priest. She wants spirits dancing, squabbles in the kitchen and bitching in the backyard. And some beers. And she doesn’t want anybody to go hungry. She just wants the miracle of family. Because today Nanna Maria is going to name her successor.

Mixing kava with karaoke, Toa Fraser pushes the culture forward. We celebrate the raucous joy, the shifting dynamics and the chaos that only an extended family knows. Madeleine Sami returns to the stage in the virtuoso performance that took the world by storm.
