Kikia Te Poa is a funny, physical, and moving look at the relationship between New Zealand and South Africa, Maori and Pakeha, the colonial past and its legacy. The Boer War saw the birth of concentration camps, New Zealand's status as a warrior nation - and also international rugby. Although Maori were not allowed to fight in the Boer War, many mixed blood men did and one of them was John Walter Callaway, who wrote a haka for the Kiwi troops - 'Kikia Te Poa' (Kick the Boer). With strong physicality, fierce writing, and deft humour, Saville's play explores the nature of war, masculinity, and the enduring appeal of thirty men and an odd-shaped ball.T852897581Company Shaky Isles Theatre.
