UPU Collective

In many languages in the Pacific “UPU” means “word”. UPU Collective is an award winning, Pasifika-led creative organisation from Aotearoa, New Zealand. As a First Nations theatre production from Aotearoa, New Zealand, we are committed to growing opportunities for Pasifika artists to develop, create and present theatre works that centre storytelling from our sea of islands. We champion Pasifika artists holding full agency over their work at every stage.

UPU brings the wealth and power of Pacific literature to roaring theatrical life. Curated by award-winning poet Grace Iwashita-Taylor and led by powerhouse director Fasitua Amosa.
