A poignant and potent synergy of movement, voice, spatial design and virtual technologies.

Created by choreographer Bianca Hyslop and designer Rowan Pierce, He Huia Kaimanawa is a new performance experience that responds to the resurfacing, reclaiming and honouring of te reo Māori. Looking to the past as we move into the future, the work brings to light stories of loss and reclamation while celebrating the work of the many who have carved the path for the ongoing revitalisation of te reo rangatira.

Visually potent and experientially impactful, He Huia Kaimanawa is a visceral exploration of learning te reo Māori as second language learners, featuring some of the finest dancers in Aotearoa.
