A TRAILBLAZING JOURNEY OF AOTEAROA FROM THE ICONIC WORK OF WITI IHIMAERA
Born on 6 February 1840, the day Te Tiriti o Waitangi was signed, Tiri Mahana, performed by Miriama McDowell (Ngāti Hine, Ngāpuhi) is a Māori kuia whose extraordinary lifespan becomes a vessel for nearly two centuries of Aotearoa history.
Tiri: Te Araroa Woman Far Walking unfolds as a deeply emotional tapestry celebrating wāhine Māori.
Creator of the acclaimed The Haka Party Incident, Katie Wolfe (Ngāti Mutunga, Ngāti Tama) directs this new adaptation of Witi Ihimaera’s epic tale of Tiri Mahana, a 185-year-old matriarch, from her birth at the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi to present-day Aotearoa.
With award-winning actors Miriama McDowell (Ngāti Hine, Ngāpuhi) and supported by Nī Dekkers-Reihana (Ngāpuhi, Te Rarawa, Ngāti Porou), audiences are invited to a play for ​the whole whānau where Tiri wants us all to remember that the good things, the right things in life, are worth fighting for.
