Ngunguru i Te Ao i Te Pō – Taki Rua theatre
It was awesome to watch the whakaari and to meet the performers. A huge mihi to the Taki Rua team who provided a fun and exciting te reo Māori theatre experience. Wananei.
KMK were proud sponsors of two of the South Island performances of Ngunguru i Te Ao i Te Pō which is the story of the children of Tangaroa.
Our tamariki were taken on an adventure into the oceanic depths, rocky shore-lines and pristine beaches of East Coast, Aotearoa. In the heart of Te Moana nui a Kiwa, they followed the story of five ocean creatures as they revealed the beauty of their watery home; they also encountered a frightening and terrifying oil slick. Awash in this new struggle the ocean creatures embraced the principles of tuakana-teina, kaitiakitanga and whanaungatanga and with a little help from Tangaroa’s current and the legendary taniwha Kaiwhare, they were saved. The performers used high-energy physical performance, waiata and dance to create a theatre work that celebrates all things Te Ao Māori.
Tamariki with the performers.
