Get Lusi Faiva's AIGA to Samoa!

Samoan disabled artist, Lusi Faiva intends to take her Touch Compass theatre performance work, AIGA, to be performed in Samoa in September 2026. 

This year, in September 2025, in preparation for that, Lusi and her team (support worker, cultural support and producer) would like to travel to Samoa to identify accessible locations to perform the work, and to continue her work advocating for access and the disabled community. 

This will also be the first time Lusi has touched the fanua of her homeland, so the project is deeply personal.  

AIGA is a powerful, groundbreaking piece of theatre which premiered in 2024 at Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki, Auckland Arts Festival, has shown at Nelson Arts Festival, and in June will premiere in Te Whānganui a Tara, Wellington as part of the 10 year anniversary of Kia Mau Festival.
