TAONGA: DUST WATER WIND

TAONGA: dust, water, wind is a poetic dance experience inspired by the true life story of Rona Williamson, a kuia of Ngai Tahu whanui. In TAONGA: dust, water, wind, young Rona, growing up in the care of her Great-Aunt in the small seaside town of Kaka Point, enters a magical landscape where bodies inhabit a world of seaweed and stone, where a fantail echoes death, and the moon guides the young girl and her Aunt through the struggles and phases of their lives.

With bush clad hills to its back and the Southern Pacific Ocean spread out in front, Kaka Point is a magical place to live. Set in 1934, the childhood memories of choreographer Potiki-Bryant’s Aunty Rona, are brought to life. Atamira’s reputation for powerful and poignant choreography will be on show with an internationally experienced ensemble. Combining a live score by taonga puoro (traditional Maori instruments) expert Richard Nunns, this performance provides a tantalising journey to an old way of life.
