(aired on 04/06/2025) 

As part of Kia Mau Festival’s He Ngaru Nui programme, For the Love of Spam is a multi-sensory, participatory one-woman show dedicated to two things: canned meat and colonialism.  Written & performed by Chamoru / Filipina theatremaker Sierra Sevilla, originally from the island of Guam and passionate about shifting immigrant narratives.  

Find out how this (delicious) canned meat symbolises modern-day colonialism and threatens the very livelihood of a whole civilisation in these ‘West vs East’ political games.

A Premiere Season in Aotearoa, For the Love of Spam journeys to us from Guam and the United Kingdom.
