Speaking after a long journey from Brazil, Piva says he is excited to return and present a new set of performances for the Fiji audience.
He says this year’s show would feature different and surprising acts, adding that he believes the audience will be in for a major surprise during the event.
Piva says Fiji Showcase 2026 is a special platform for him because it allows people from all backgrounds unlike many international shows that are often expensive and only accessible to limited audiences.
He says the Fiji event stands out because it is more inclusive and gives families an opportunity to share cultural and artistic experiences together.
Piva says his performances create strong emotional connections between families, describing it as a form of entertainment that allows parents and children to share laughter and lasting memories.

He says the program helped transform his life and inspired his global career in performance, allowing him to travel and share his art around the world.
Piva shares he had previously performed in Fiji’s communities and villages, including street shows, and expressed happiness at being invited back for the Fiji Showcase.
He says he continues to view his work as a form of social transformation through the arts, helping connect people and create shared emotional experiences.
Piva says he once trained for up to six hours a day but now balances his routine with juggling practice, reading, writing, music and physical conditioning, including physiotherapy to maintain his health for travel and performances.
He adds that while he still practices juggling for about two hours a day, he focuses on maintaining his overall wellbeing and creativity through diverse activities.
Piva will perform on the Telecom Fiji internal entertainment stage of the Vodafone Arena at 1pm and 5.30pm tomorrow.
Fiji Showcase 2026 will start from 10am tomorrow at the Vodafone Arena, and will run for 9 days until Saturday June 27th.
