From the Land of the Long White Cloud to the Land Down Under!
Kiwi is going on his first big holiday from Aotearoa across to the golden shores of Brisbane. He’s got his backpack, a pocket full of worms, and a head full of dreams. The most exciting thing of all is that he might even get to go on a rollercoaster! With his Mum, Kiwi navigates air travel, hotels and conversations with marsupials as his world stretches from the home he knows, to the world over the horizon.
A tale that celebrates the connection between our two countries, featuring stunning costume designs by GRIDLEY by Victoria and fresh waiata by NZ singer-songwriter Benny Tipene. Brought to the stage by the multi-award winning companies Horse With No Name and GRIDLEY by Victoria, Kiwi’s Big Hararei is a story about spreading your wings and flying into the unknown.
