About the show:

Created for Manchester International Festival, FALE SĀ / SACRED HOUSE responds to the reality that home is a precarious notion for cultures in a constant state of motion and displacement. Over two years, artists from the FAFSWAG collective were invited to create a ceremonial house inhabited by ancestral stories from the Pacific Diaspora of Aotearoa New Zealand and the wider Moana.

Culminating at MIF25, FAFSWAG welcome audiences on a cultural journey into the realm of Pacific storytelling as they take over the Manchester city centre venue HOME for the duration of the festival.
