Kōpū
The wāhine of Kōpū weave live music, performance, poetry, and poi through a hilariously honest, no-holds-barred account of their femininity on their own terms.
Kōpū invites you into a cheeky ballad of a show, sharing the songs of our young wāhine Māori as they navigate this world – hairy nipples first – following in the footsteps of our naughty nannies from the kāuta home.
Multi-talented performers weave live music, performance, poetry, and poi through a hilariously honest and no-holds-barred account of their experiences of wāhinetanga womanhood now; the day-and-night duality of being fiercely everything at once.
"A selection of thoughtful, funny, seamlessly woven and heart-grabbing vignettes." – Lexie Matheson ONZM, Theatreview
"Kōpū is a hilarious celebration, liberation, and at times, a gut-wrenching ‘me too sis’ to wāhine..." – Candice Luke, NZ Herald
Content Advisory: Adult language and content, sexual references. Recommended for ages 16+.
