Taki Rua Presents: Pourakahua

Watch Pourakahua, a production about a being that is a cross between human and bird as they fly across the stunning landscapes of Aotearoa to find their true home, their kāika tūturu.

In the first Te Reo Māori Season production to be performed in the Kāi Tahu mita, experience pūrākau from the Arowhenua rock art fly off the walls and into the minds of our tamariki in Pourakahua.

The 2021 show is developed from a theatrical puppet show by Toro Pikopiko Puppets inspired by real Kāi Tahu rock art in Timaru, Te Waipounamu, and with the guidance of Te Rūnaka o Arowhenua.
