... a tongue in cheek look at the oppression and evolution of an island ...

In a remarkable fusion of traditional Polynesian and contemporary dance theatre, three tourists journey to a fantasy island expecting an exotic, blissful, dreamlike holiday.

Brisbane based dance ensemble Polytoxic unveil the cultural reality of Polynesia with an episodic ride through the past and present, with historical missionary diary entries, a hilarious Elvis inspired advert, a comedic floorshow performance and an insight into a samoan girl’s experience of everyday life.

Mix in bright gorgeous costumes and frame each image with a clever, ever-changing set, and you have Polytoxic’s holiday postcard to you from Samoa.
