To Speak To The Present, You Must Acknowledge The Past…

 Billy and Te Po are two Māori men aspiring to be musicians. Te Po is doing it the hard way as a gigging muso, while Billy is in a corporate job lacking the confidence to make the jump. When a pānui is released calling for Māori musicians they both apply but are turned away because they don’t fit the strict criteria. In the same position, they decide to work together to secure the gig.

Two Guitars is a musical journey that examines the third generation of Māori who have grown up without te reo and tikanga and find themselves lost. After all, it only takes three generations to lose a language.

Please be aware there is strong language used in this show.
