Fananga is a Tongan contemporary show with the purpose to educate viewers on why we do what we do in the Tonga culture by revisiting stories of our pre-colonial Gods and how they influence our way of living. Fusing traditional Tongan music and dances with elements of contemporary and Pasifika theatre, Fananga is our people's story.
