FAIRYTALES FOR GROWN-UPS: MAUI TRICKSTER

Mikael Öberg
29 MAY 2025, 7.30PM (DOORS & BAR 7PM)

Step into a world where creation is still in motion—where the Sun Beast scorches the skies, Grandmother Fire blazes, and fish are the size of islands. Where secrets lurk in the underworld, and Great Woman Night watches over it all.

At the centre of this vibrant and unfinished cosmos stands dark eyed Maui. A master of creative disruption. A quick-witted mover and shaker. A shape-shifting, boundary-breaker. Wielding a magical jawbone and an insatiable curiosity, this ancient trickster relentlessly reshapes reality, answering every “why?” with an audacious “why not?”.

The chaotic exploits of this demigod of the southern hemisphere have haunted Mikael Öberg’s imagination for two decades and the result is comedic, unfiltered myth fuelled by irrepressible energy and accompanying sonic electrickery.
