My Penina invites the audience to be guests at the 50th wedding anniversary of Aniva and Pelenato. It is an interactive work of storytelling as the couple share their lives, loves, hardships and jubilations with their guests. Guided by their 'daughter' Maraea, they celebrate their long lasting love in a way that only a couple who have been together for that length of time can. My Penina is set in Samoa and spans a lifetime of 70 years, of which most was spent in Auckland. We meet the twin grandchildren - Kristina the singer, and Steven the artist - who, being afakasi palagi and Samoan, bring in the modern ideas to the lives of this wonderful 'old' couple. Through western theatre, traditional Samoan story-telling, movement and song, Aniva and Pelenato take us on a journey of true love, forgiveness and the reality of a lifetime together.
