Fāgogo

Fāgogo is a word in the Samoan language to describe a type of storytelling of the Samoa Islands.

[1] It is called "a performing art, almost a type of theatre, where people, events and stories are brought to life through the skills, voice and action of a narrator".

In 2018 he was the youngest nominee at age twenty-five for the New Zealand Walters Prize award for moving image Fāgogo.

[2] Fāgogo stories often tell of the lives of archetypal figures like Sina in the legend Sina and the Eel, Tinilau, and a legendary Tuimanu'a (as different from the historical Tui Manu'a).

The story of Sina and the Eel (Sina ma le Tuna) is associated with the Mata o le Alelo pool in the village of Matavai, on the north coast of Savai'i, in Samoa.
