Former musician Fonotī Pati Umaga’s journey from paralysis to advocacy is spotlighted in a new stage show premiering in Auckland.
Fonotī Pati Umaga, a former chart-topping musician with the Holidaymakers, is sharing his life story in a new stage production following a 2005 shower accident that left him paralyzed.
Now an advocate for disabled Māori and Pasifika communities, Umaga’s journey from depression to activism is being brought to life in *Music Portrait of a Humble Disabled Samoan*, premiering at the Auckland Arts Festival and moving to Wellington.
The show, directed by Maiava Nathaniel Lees, features wheelchair users, actors, and musicians, aiming to challenge stigma and highlight resilience and cultural identity.
