 Patua

Patua

Synopsis:
PATUA, a brave new story about the death of a small child at the hands of her family. PATUA is a verb that means to strike, hit, beat, kill, subdue, ill-treat. This story centres on baby Moni who has been beaten to within an inch of her life, a life that was wrought with poverty, desperation and broken hearts. But her cry for justice and love will not be unheeded when in a twist of fate, her unknown extended whanau discover the truth and bury her as the princess she should have been. Following two vastly different whanau of the same whakapapa, but different tikanga, PATUA constantly asks the question what happened to make them behave like that? It's a play that will provoke audiences to consider nature over nurture' and whether the wider historical and social issues facing Maori, have played a role in creating the abusers. Writer/ Director Renae Maihi says that PATUA mirrors society but its enduring message is that when all is said and done, this must never happen again:
