8 Ways to Survive the Corporate Circus

Satiu Studios presents 8 Ways to Survive the Corporate Circus, a double bill of two new 30-minute solo works by Samoan poet/orator Fale Tumanu and Tongan actor Unaloto Funaki. Responding to a shared theme, the works sit in conversation, using distinct lenses to explore diasporic identity and lived experience from intersecting Pacific perspectives. Through parody and instruction, 8 Ways to Survive the Corporate Circus exposes workplace hierarchies, cultural conformity, and the tension between authenticity and the selves we perform to belong within contemporary corporate and social systems.
