We had a lovely chat with Mr Fasitua Amosa, co-founder and director of 'Upu Collective.


'Upu is the Samoan word for 'Word' and the title of a performance coming to the Sydney Opera House.

Co-founder of 'Upu Collective and director of 'Upu, Fasitua Amosa told us that it is a collection of poetry by Pasefika poets read an acted by Pasefika actors, including himself.

Mr Amosa has an impressive list of credits in film, television and stage performances in Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and the US.
