Show do Café
Show do Café premiered at the NZ Fringe Festival in 2024. The show speaks of the processes of coffee from Brazil to Aotearoa and the experiences of being away from your community until finding a chosen family.
It is about community, hospitality, indigeneity, colonialism and finding a new home in this new world.
The audience is fully immersed in the show where they eat and drink with us. The feeling of the show is warm and embracing.
A tribute to all immigrants away from home.
