Tafatolu

Kia ora, Talofa lava!

My name is Nikeidrian Lologa-Peters, I’m a Samoan/Māori creative based in Tāmaki Makaurau whose passion lies in storytelling based on personal lived experience. My team and I are devising and debuting our physical theatre show ‘Tafatolu’ in the Winter/Matariki season at Basement Theatre this August 2025. 

‘Tafatolu’- is a visceral, musical, and physical adaptation of the stories passed down from our tupuna, tuaā, and fanga-kui. Stories born from Pasifika mythology inspired by the traditional samoan theatre style of fale aitu. Venturing into a realm unknown we bear witness to the awakening of our ancestral knowledge and gods who have lied dormant within us awaiting their turn to dance!
