A Scottish lad of 10 is driven into slavery aboard his Majesties ships, circa 1800. After 15 years at sea he is cast onto the shoreline of Aotearoa and the fight for survival begins.
Te Tupua – The Goblin is a story of early contact and the act of expiation leading the audience to reflect on our bi-cultural origins where the performer, John Davies, operates as a cultural memory-worker; a cross between a shaman, an historian and a storyteller.
Te Tupua remains a marginalised phenomenon, despised yet seeking atonement.
Haere mai Te Tupua - a storytelling history play suitable for ages 10 and up.
