DANCE. THEATRE. FARCE.
Unapologetically indigenous and indescribably farcical, Tawata Productions’ new work Ngā Rorirori (AKA The Idiots) is the unmissable return to the theatre Wellington has been waiting for.
A rural marae has hit the jackpot – if they pass one final hurdle, that is.
The haukāinga must convince the Government’s Chief Executive of the Department of ‘Whenua, Whakapapa and Whatever’ that they are the true descendants of their eponymous ancestor!
If they are successful at doing so, the vast coastline in their rohe reverts to their ownership, garnering millions of dollars… in back rent alone.
Part theatre, part dance, part cinema, this ground-breaking work from acclaimed Māori playwright and director Hone Kouka shows 18 - 25 June at Circa Theatre, book now at Circa.co.nz.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
