FRONT YARD FESTIVALS - BOOK A SHOW AT THE HOME OF SOMEONE YOU LOVE!
The Dust Palace in collaboration with Māori theatre company, Te Rēhia Theatre, is bringing Front Yard Festivals back to Auckland and Waiheke by popular demand – and for the last time.
Originally developed as a COVID-response from the arts, Front Yard Festivals delivers two shows made to specifically bring joy to kaumātua and kuia.
Two roopu of mostly Māori artists and acrobats will perform 15-minute music, circus and storytelling shows wherever they are booked to go – such as rest homes, schools and people’s own whare. They turn front yards into theatre venues, and present joyful, vibrant, non-contact waiata and performances highlighting the beauty of Māori and Samoan culture.
Front Yard Festivals is supported by the New Zealand government’s Local Activation Programme and administered by Auckland Unlimited.
The tour runs from now until 16 June 2022 and is completely free. Bookings are now open. To arrange a performance, contact taidelwave@gmail.com or call 021 773 802.
