Performance Special: Maui Trickster #57

Maui, the taboo-thrashing sun-subduing demigod of the Pacific islands, takes center stage in this episode, a force of erupting and disruptive nature that has been haunting podcast host and performance storyteller Mikael Öberg for decades, demanding with increased intensity the making of a performance, a show, a narrative string of pearls.

Mikael has finally relented, creating “Maui Trickster“, a storytelling show that just premiered in the UK. Come delve into the liminal space of culture hero cum trickster Maui. Together with us.
