A tribute by Nancy Brunning.
Lovingly crafted from excerpts from Witi Ihimaera’s collection of short stores and novels, our indomitable heroines take you on an epic journey across their history, their mythology and cultural consciousness as we recognise the passion, truth and spirit of mana wāhine.
Witi’s Wāhine brings to life remarkable female characters from novels such as The Matriarch, Whānau, Pounamu Pounamu and more in a performance that will ignite your deepest instincts of a people in metamorphosis.
Witi’s Wāhine premiered at Te Tairāwhiti Arts Festival in October 2019.
