Welcome to our Pourakahua Whānau Day at Te Papa. There are two showings of our 2021 Te Reo Māori Season play, Pourakahua. 30 minutes before each show there is a waiata workshop that is open to all. Throughout the day there is also a karetao/puppet making workshop, where you and your tamariki can make a karetao 'Moa'. This beautiful full te reo Māori play all in the Kāi Tahu dialect is written by Jeffrey Addison.
Mō te whakaari / About the show:
Whai mai i Pourakahua, he takata momorua, he manu anō hoki. Ko ia tonu e topa haere ana ki kā tōpito ātaahua i Aotearoa. Ka tūtakina e ia he hoa hou, nāna rātou i arataki. Ko tāna hoki he karo i kā kaitaomanu.
Join Pourakahua, a cross between human and bird, on a journey of self-discovery as they fly across the stunning landscapes of Aotearoa to find their true home. They meet interesting friends along the way, coming to their aid while also evading the dangerous bird hunters, the “Kaitaomanu".
This show is brought to you with support from our major funders Creative New Zealand, Wellington City Council and Four Winds Foundation.
