Description Celebrating the whakapapa of Hip-hop culture in Aotearoa.
Private detectives Morgan Reid and Ian Sheff attempt to solve a series of arsons across Wellington city. Their inability to cooperate forces the two to rely on outside help, unintentionally constructing a band of misfits.
Innovative in its fusion of theatre, musical theatre and hip-hop music presented through a detective drama with Aotearoa flavour, “Flames” is a one-of-a-kind show by Toi Whakaari graduates Roy Iro and Reon Bell that celebrates the whakapapa of Hip-hop culture in Aotearoa.
