Tangihanga

Tangihanga, performed by Kristyl Neho, is a 65-minute drama-comedy centred around Jess, a loving daughter. When her father Karanipa passes away, his whānau and friends gather from near and far at the marae to mourn his loss. As the tangi progresses, tensions rise, family dynamics unravel, and secrets are exposed, all while Jess and the whānau grapple with their grief and differences. Neho masterfully embodies more than 30 characters on this emotional rollercoaster, exploring the intricacies of whānau relationships, identity, cultural traditions, and the importance of family and community in times of grief and loss.

Trigger warning: gun shots.
