“Winner of the Theatre category, nominated for Best in Fringe, and Dance/Cabaret/Physical Theatre at Dunedin Fringe Festival 2024.”


An original documentary theatre piece created with real-life stories of migrant workers living in Aotearoa.


We, The Outsiders is a thought-provoking theatrical experience that sheds light on the diverse challenges migrants face in Aotearoa — from trying to fit in and learning new languages to adapting to entirely new cultures.


We spoke to 30 immigrants in Aotearoa with English as a second language in order to create this documentary theatre show. It explores identity, belonging, and integration through a collection of interviews, testimonies, and dramatised retellings. The production blends storytelling, original music, and multimedia elements.


'We, The Outsiders' aims to spark in-depth conversations about who migrates to Aotearoa and why.


Directed by Romina Meneses and presented by South Arts Collective in collaboration with Believable Arts Management.


First produced at BATS Theatre, Wellington, on January 31 2024 as part of the Victoria University of Wellington's Master of Fine Arts Six Degrees Festival
