Triple Bill - We came from the sea by Julia Mageau Gray.

An intimate intergenerational conversation that weaves together memory, knowledge, and the stories carried within our skin.

Created and performed by Te Wehi Kore Karena Haraki Akuhata Grant-Koria and Mierewai Grant-Koria, in collaboration with Julia Mageau Gray, We came from the sea explores the enduring connections that bind Pacific peoples across oceans, generations, and time.

Through shared linguistic, visual, and physical languages, this work honours the wisdom passed between ancestors and descendants. It serves as a powerful reminder that our bodies carry the journeys, histories, and resilience of those who came before us.

A reflection on whakapapa, belonging, and the oceanic ties that continue to shape who we are.
