Massive Company, one of Aotearoa’s (New Zealand’s) most well-respected theater companies, will perform “The Brave” at 7 p.m. Thursday at Kahilu Theatre in Waimea.
“The Brave” shows bravery defined by a new generation. Eight men take the stage to honor those people who are, or once were in their lives. Combining true confessions with raw athleticism, the men in “The Brave” find strength through family, love, loss, fear, hope, belonging and brotherhood. The cast consists of Neil Amituanai, Dominic Ona-Ariki, Leki Jackson Bourke, Scott Cotter, Todd Emerson, Beulah Koale, Jonny Moffatt and Andy Sani. The show is directed by Sam Scott and Carla Martell.
Massive Company is a contemporary theater ensemble that specializes in creating new theater that focuses on authentic stories, real people and bears real emotions with boundless energy and playfulness. The ensemble’s work evokes the human spirit in its most present and vulnerable state.
There will also be a youth show for area schools, homeschoolers and other youth, earlier in the day, on Thursday. Registration for Kahilu Theatre youth show is available online.
