RARU E MARUAKAĪTĀ is making its return season! After 2 years of development, this unique piece of Kūki ‘Āirani theatre is making its way to Te Poutheatre for 3 shows only so get in quick!Raru e Maruakaītā follows a brother and sister, Raru and Maru, who are caught in a celestial struggle as the gods Vaerua and Tanga use them as pawns in a cosmic game. Manipulated into making fateful decisions, the siblings are driven toward destructive paths, culminating in the tragic death of one.
Written by Kūki ‘Āirani/ Māori (Mauke enua, Ngāpuhi e Tuwharetoa) and performer Poe Tiare Tararo, Raru e Maruakaītā brings together indigenous storytelling and innovative theatre-making. The production is directed by award- winning artist Tainui Tukiwaho, whose dynamic vision elevates the story’s universal themes while staying true to its cultural roots.
We would like to give our deepest aroa and gratitude to Creative New Zealand for providing us with the funding support to bring this show to life once again for our Kūki ‘Āirani community🤎
Turou oro mai! This is, Raru e Maruakaītā
