He Māori

by Isaac Martyn

What does it mean to reclaim Māoritanga from a Pākehā upbringing?

Returning to BATS after a sold-out first season, Isaac Martyn will lead the audience on a journey from total confusion to partial understanding - weaving together elements of stand-up comedy, waiata, and theatrical performance to explore the doubt, celebration, and the complicated nature of identity.

He aha? He Māori? Is he? Maybe - it depends.

Isaac Martyn's delivery and script feels honest, full of charisma and aroha...This is local theatre doing what it does best – challenging us while telling the stories of this land.
John Anderson, Theatreview, 2022

Performer & Playwright: Isaac Martyn (Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Te Arawa, Ngāti Pākehā)
