Former Kaitāia College music teacher Opeloge Ah Sam is returning to the Far North next month with his acclaimed stage show Aua e te tagi.
In what’s billed as a captivating journey through the depths of human emotions, Aua e te tagi will be performed in the John Dalton Auditorium, in Kerikeri’s Turner Centre, on June 13.
Aua e te tagi is a unique showcase of dance and original music that delves into the innocence of youth, the complexities of love, the search for identity, and the challenges of coping with loss and grief.
Ah Sam is not just a composer, he is a strong advocate for the healing power of music and its ability to express our deepest emotions and identities, philosophies on display in Aua e te tagi.
