Riverside Theatres is thrilled to present one of New Zealand’s most successful theatrical exports, Tusiata Avia’s Wild Dogs Under My Skirt from the 18th to 20th April at the Riverside Theatres, Parramatta.
Touring across New Zealand and performing off-Broadway in New York snapping up awards since 2016, Wild Dogs Under My Skirt breathes fierce life into poetry, womanhood and the unsettling challenge to tradition and conformity.
Adapted from Tusiata Avia’s poetry collection, Wild Dogs Under My Skirt is a provocative and unapologetic examination and celebration of what it is to be a Samoan woman. In the wake of the unending colonial earthquake, five Samoan characters make their lives between two cultures: playing, gossiping, enduring, enforcing the patriarchal status quo, and carving out powerful new identities.
An exhilarating theatrical poetry experience, Anapela Polata’ivao’s commanding direction introduces nuance, power, and dramatic sophistication into Avia’s deeply personal view of Pacific Island life and its sometimes-uneasy collisions with New Zealand.
Vivid, passionate, and compelling, Wild Dogs Under My Skirt is flush with humour and pure entertainment.
