Event Information

Sixty years ago, Estella Nonosina Reid began a body of work rooted in discipline, care, and cultural responsibility. What started as teaching grew into a legacy carried forward through generations, shaped by music, movement, correction, and deep respect for where we come from. Under the creative direction of Tiana Nonosina Liufau, Nonosina moves through the living space that connects people, generations, and time. This anniversary performance travels through Samoa, Tahiti, Aotearoa, and beyond, honoring the unseen connections that bind culture, family, and responsibility. This is not a retrospective. It is a living expression of Polynesian excellence, grounded in tradition and alive in the present. Every sound, step, and gesture carries the work of those who came before and the care owed to those still to come. Voyage 60: VA is offered with gratitude to our elders, respect for every generation that carried the work, and responsibility to those who will inherit it. We are Nonosina.
