Year 10 Drama and Music studentsAttending the Tiki Taane Mahuta performance in Ashburton by TBHS

Tiki Taane Mahuta

A group of Year 10 Drama and Music boys met Tiki Taane and Tanemahuta Gray at Friday's performance of Tiki Taane Mahuta in Ashburton. 

Tiki Taane Mahuta combines two of our nation’s most exciting musical and theatrical artists; musician and composer Tiki Taane and choreographer Tanemahuta Gray (Māui – One Man Against The Gods), in an explosion of Aerial Theatre and Contemporary Dance, fused with Haka and Hip-Hop.

Tiki Taane Mahuta is a story about love and tragic loss. When a fatal car crash takes away the love of Karen’s life, and the father of her unborn child, it is up to the next generation to repair the rift between broken families. Karen’s son, guided by his father’s ancestral line, is able to forge a path of forgiveness. Tatau pounamu. A gift of reconciliation and new beginnings.
