This event has probably been and gone!
LITTLE BLACK BITCH is an Adam NZ Award-winning play by Jason Te Mete that blends mythology, waiata and black comedy
When Matiu took his own life, his little dog Toto took off with the suicide note. The whole community has been turned upside down. When the dog turns up outside Rangi’s window he knows he must help. He must adopt her - whangai - and he must protect and hide her. But as he feeds her, his toto (blood) begins to run deeper and darker than ever before.
Rangitoto has awoken. The earth begins to dance, and the sky bleeds.
She’s little. She’s black. She’s a bitch.
I te whakamomoritanga o Matiu, ka kakahakina e tana kuri te reta i waiho mai e ia. Kia puta mai te kuri i waho o te matapihi o Rangi, e mohio ana ia me tiaki ia i a ia, a, nona e whangai ana i te kuri, ka timata te rere o te toto, he hohonu, he kerekere noa ake i mua ra.
Kua oho ake a Rangitoto.
He iti ia, he pango ia, a, he uwha hoki ia.
