Artistic Direction and Choreography by Neil Ieremia, ONZM
Premiered September 2018
ASB Waterfront Theatre, Auckland, New Zealand
'Crying Men' traces the journey of three generations of Pacific men, living in a new land and dealing with the impact of the loss of a matriarch who brought balance to the traditional expectations of masculinity with compassion, tolerance and strength.
Utilising gesture, elements of Pacific storytelling, song and dance, 'Crying Men' sees Ieremia collaborate with acclaimed Pacific playwright Victor Rodger for the first time. Rodger has created an original narrative framework, which underpins the production. Black Grace has commissioned new music from hip-hop legends Anonymouz aka Faiumu Matthew Salapu and Submariner aka Andy Morton.
