After years of self-imposed exile, old Tu is found and visited by his brothers children. In search of answers, their presence triggers an unstoppable wave of memories that envelops Tu and forces him to confront and embrace the ghosts of his past...Hone Koukas previous theatrical works include I, George Nepia, the internationally acclaimed Waiora and the 2004 New Zealand International Arts Festival premiere of The Prophet. With Kirk Torrance starring as Tu, this is a majestic story of love, redemption, whanau and brotherhood.
