Te Aka Tawhito – Te Reo Māori Season

Taki Rua’s Te Reo Māori Season returns in 2024 with Te Aka Tawhito, Na Tere Harrison.

Te Aka Tawhito is a story about the challenges our youth face. The challenge of realising your dreams and the challenge of believing in yourself.

Each year, Taki Rua presents a highly engaging and meaningful children's theatre show performed completely in te reo Māori to thousands of school-children and people of all ages throughout Aotearoa. First presented in 1995 in Wellington, Te Reo Maori Season sees a small team of performers and theatre professionals travel the length of the country with a set, costumes, props and soundscape. These lively and animated shows can be understood by people of all comprehension levels, no matter where they are on their reo Māori journey, and are performed in kura kaupapa Māori, mainstream schools and community spaces.

These shows are ideal for te reo Māori learners of all ages. Bring the whole whānau!

Free to attend, but numbers are strictly limited so bookings are essential.
