Nothing Micro About Micronesia

Created by TeAda Productions, and members of the Micronesian community in Honolulu.

Nothing Micro About Micronesia is a coming of age story about two Micronesian boys who encounter an unlikely place after a series of conflicts between them. They must navigate between the directions from elders and the government systems who have had an impact on their current lives and states of being/belonging. Join these friends as they take us through their lenses of island life in Micronesia while facing the rising tides of their transitioning ages, complicated family matters, new findings about the world and themselves, and uncertain futures.

Nothing Micro about Micronesia is an expansion of TeAda’s current touring show Masters of the Currents, created by Leilani Chan & Ova Saopeng, with Cultural Navigator Innocenta Sound-Kikku and contributions from numerous multi-generational Micronesian community members in Hawai’i. Nothing Micro came about as a result of Masters of Currents’ successful international tours and community engagement activities. As a result, community leaders have requested that TeAda Productions create new work that focuses on the continued discrimination and resilience of Micronesians. Like Masters of Currents, this new work combines community-based story collection and social justice practices with devised ensemble techniques to create a theatrical performance built with the involvement of the Micronesian community.
