Hatupatu | Kurungaituku: A forbidden love
Taki Rua presents the FNZ National Tour of Hatupatu | Kurungaituku : a forbidden love
Hatupatu | Kurungaituku : a forbidden love is a story of survival and love between the young Te Arawa warrior Hatupatu and the unique bird woman that is Kurungaituku.
Based on the Te Arawa iwi kōrero of Hatupatu and the bird woman, this thrilling aerial production by Taki Rua will envelop you in an immersive multi-media experience that evokes
the forests and thermal forces of Rotorua.
Hatupatu is murdered by his brothers for stealing the rich stores of kereru. He comes back to life to avenge his mistreatment and death at the hands of his brothers. On his way home, Hatupatu
encounters the mythical bird woman, Kurungaituku, who ensnares him in her cave. An extraordinary love develops; but when Kurungaituku leaves Hatupatu alone in the cave to seek
food for her beloved, he steals her treasured taonga and ransacks her home in the process.
She chases him across the Te Arawa terrain and sacrifices herself to save him from the scorching mudpools and geysers of Whakarewarewa, leaving Hatupatu to return home to fulfill
his destiny as a leader of his people.
In a De La Guarda inspired immersive environment, Artistic Director Tānemahuta Gray; (Māui –One Man Against The Gods, Tiki Taane Mahuta), brings his experience performing with this
world leading aerial theatre company, to share this unique performance genre with New Zealand audiences nationwide. Tānemahuta joins forces with Wetini Mītai-Ngātai, leader of the
two time Te Mataini winning national kapa haka rōpū Te Mararae i o Rehu to present a contemporary Māori theatrical experience you will not want to miss.
The performances in Rotorua on 14-17 March 2024 conclude the touring series, and are the only shows to be outside of the main centres of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
The Rotorua show will take place at the Energy Events Centre and while some seating is available for those who require it, this is a standing experience.
