Tangihanga, performed by Kristyl Neho, is a 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. Kristyl Neho masterfully embodies over 30 characters as tensions rise, family dynamics unravel, and secrets are exposed. The show 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.
