Four stories embedded in multiple soils. Then, now and later. Traces of memories made, identities forged, histories told.

Two brothers grapple to make sense of the world under colonial rule. And so begins the epic sweep of Tea, exploring Sri Lanka’s rich history, the turmoil of war and the revolution of family. Ambitious tales of compassion, transformation and survival – all with the perfect cup of tea.

Poppy is the it-girl, Qiu Ju the ‘perfect’ Chinese daughter. They’re crashing through life, balancing two cultures, negotiating high school hierarchies and figuring out a thing called love. Yang/Young/? sticks the middle finger to being boxed in. This is Coming of Age 2.0.

Gobi and Zina came to Aotearoa in search of something new. Amongst the milk bottles and the tinned tomatoes, he’s determined to make a go of it here while Zina yearns for the life she left behind. Krishnan’s Dairy is a monument to love, enchanting and as unforgettable as the Taj Mahal.

Born from microaggressions and memes, Scenes from a Yellow Peril is a form-busting dissection of East Asian identity. Racism and privilege are playfully skewered in acts of disordered order. Hilarious and furious, reflective and revealing.
