Theatre group tackles Pacific's last taboo Posted Image A Wellington theatre company has assembled a cast of female actors to break down some of the most entrenched taboos in Melanesia. Fiji-New Zealander Nina Nawalowalo and her husband, Tom McCrory, of the Conch Theatre in Wellington are leading a delegation of women actors from the Solomon Islands at the Fifth Melanesian Arts Festival in Papua New Guinea. Funded by the European Union and managed by the British Council, they use a blend of traditional and contemporary Melanesian theatre to communicate messages on the sensitive topic of domestic violence. The festival is colourful, entertaining and vibrant, and a vital meeting of minds, as Pacific countries grapple with protection of intellectual property, maintenance of customary heritage in a global economy and the under-representation of women in cultures often steeped in patriarchy.
