E Ipo, My Love

Tane & Gisele are a couple not unlike a lot of couples in this country.
They love one another,
They enjoy spending their lives together,
and they fight for one another.
But they can’t escape the fact that the troubled history of Aotearoa is never too far behind them.

E Ipo, My Love is an honest, heartfelt and at times hilarious look at what it is to be a Māori and Pākehā couple in Aotearoa New Zealand. Inspired by historical accounts, interviews with couples, and their own experiences of being together, Tane Te Pakeke-Patterson (Kai Tahu, Kāti Hateatea) & Gisele Proud pull back the curtain on bicultural relationships in a nation with “one of the best race relations in the world”.

Bring your lover, your partner, or your situationship to enjoy this exciting new work by two young artists who are returning to Tāmaki Makaurau after developing and then touring this show internationally.
