This triple hander is set against the backdrop of diasporic Samoan life, the performance reflects on the intersectionality of queer identity and the nurturing essence of motherhood. "Mā" is both a tribute to the artist's own mother and a powerful expression of chosen family bonds within the queer community, embracing Aiga filifiliga (Chosen Family) as central to its narrative.
This project is a consolidative ode of affirmation to all trans fa’afafine living within the diaspora context, politics and place of Aotearoa. It highlights the relation in all our shared experiences and existences between the dualities of traditional families and chosen families, how these two structures co-exist together and from that how we foster fruitful connection between the two displayed through art.
