An exhilarating and life-affirming work of dance and narrative you don't want to miss. Through dance and traditional Pacific storytelling, Crying Men explores masculinity through a Pacific lens following the journey and hardships of three generations of Pacific men living in a new land. The show has been choreographed by Arts Laureate Neil Ieremia in a first-time collaboration with acclaimed Pacific playwright Victor Rodger, who has created the narrative for the work.
