Kristyl Neho masterfully embodies over 30 characters in this 75-minute drama-comedy centred around Jess, a loving daughter whose father Karanipa passes away prompting his whānau and friends to gather at the marae to mourn his loss. 

As tensions rise, family dynamics unravel and secrets are exposed. Tangihanga dives deep into the emotional and cultural landscape of tangihanga—exploring whānau relationships, identity, and the importance of community in times of grief and loss.

“Neho’s performance is a tour de force. This performance isn’t just a tribute to Māori ritual—it's a living, breathing extension of it.” – Vincent Nathan, Theatreview

Presented by Wahanui Productions.
