“to call [PAIA] world class does not do it justice” – Double J  PAIA is Ngaiire’s most visceral and transcendent work yet—an eruption of rage, sex, ecstasy, ceremony, ancestry, and cleansing. Rooted in the Tok Pisin word for “fire,” PAIA is both a reckoning and a prophecy, fusing music, dance, and visuals into a blazing, multi-sensory experience.  Collaborating with multi-award-winning director Dino Dimitriadis, Ngaiire draws from her Papua New Guinean heritage to transform her stage at Vivid Sydney at Carriageworks into a ritual of movement, sound, and storytelling. PAIA is an invitation to surrender to the flames—an experience that will haunt, heal, and ignite.  Biennale of Sydney followers can enjoy $10 off by booking via the link in bio.

Because proximity builds understanding — and lasting support.
Because giving should feel personal — and powerful.  Generous. Intimate. Artist-led.
