Māui

Fusing Pacific, Māori, hip-hop and contemporary dance, this celebrated production retells Māui's legend using the language of movement, music, poetry and stunning graphic illustrations.

Choreographed by Hadleigh Pouesi, Christopher Ofanoa and Leilani Elliott and featuring an epic cast, MĀUI covers themes of strength, growth, leadership, and vulnerability.

Showing at the esteemed Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre at Te Pokapū, Aotea Centre for the very first time and presented as part of the 2022 Matariki Festival and Pacific Dance Festival programme, MĀUI captures the stories that have travelled throughout the Pacific for hundreds of years, re-told like never before.
