“Ne-The Finding” is the second chapter of “Ke-Ne-Ti”. This powerful three-part dance production channels the energy of Krump as a lens through which to explore cultural acceptance and personal identity.
Following “Ke – The Beginning”, this work delves into the in-between space, the tension of searching, questioning, and confronting the fractures within oneself. Rooted in the lived experiences of Lightsaber, “Ne-The Finding” captures the struggle to reconcile heritage with the realities of the present, where identity is not inherited fully formed but uncovered through conflict, doubt, and movement.
Through Krump, layered with Polynesian influences, each act reveals moments of loss, resistance, and awakening. Tradition and innovation collide as the body becomes a battleground for unanswered questions: Who am I becoming? What do I carry forward? What must be unlearned?
More than a performance, “Ne-The Finding” is a search for truth. It honours the discomfort of growth and the courage it takes to keep moving forward, celebrating the resilience found in the act of becoming, before clarity, before resolution, before the final arrival.
Please note, no outside food or beverages are allowed to be brought into the venue. Water is available free of charge!
