Matariki for Tamariki – Ngā Tamariki o Ngā Mata Ariki
Proudly a part of Auckland’s Matariki Festival, The New Zealand Dance Company presents its premiere season of Matariki for Tamariki by Sean MacDonald at the Bruce Mason Centre 12-13 July & Māngere Arts Centre from 19-20 July.
Journeying through the story of the nine whetū (stars) of the Matariki cluster, Matariki for Tamariki is a celestial celebration for the whole whānau. Through majestic choreography, spectacular music, and evocative design, the curious adventurers onstage plant the seeds of new beginnings for hope of the future ahead.
Join the Company for a magical performance that will leave kids & “kidaults” alike filled with joy & gratitude for the whenua (land) we call home.
