Oceania Currents 7. Pacific Stories on Stage: “Nothing Micro About Micronesia”
Nothing Micro About Micronesia is a new play created by TeAda Productions and members of the Micronesian community in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, through a series of community workshops. It is a coming-of-age story about two Micronesian boys who encounter an unlikely place after a series of conflicts between them.
In this episode, we speak with three cast members: Ova Saopeng (co-writer, co-director, cast), Kathy Martin, and Kealaula Faifili. They discuss the devising process behind the play and the impact it has had for their audiences here in Hawaiʻi.
Nothing Micro About Micronesia premiered at Honolulu Theater for Youth in March, 2024, and will be performed again on May 25, 2024, at the Kennedy Theater at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa for the CAATA ConFest.
Tickets for the upcoming performance at CAATA ConFest 2024 are available at www.caata.net/confest24-nmam.
