NGAI TAHU 32
Choreographed By Louise Potiki Bryant
TAURANGA, WHANGAREI, DARGAVILLE, & KERIKERI
29TH OCTOBER - 6TH NOVEMBER, 2011
Hot on the heels of the recent success of TE HOUHI - The People and the Land are One, Atamira Dance Company launches a four centre tour re-staging the internationally acclaimed dance work Ngai Tahu 32.
Ngai Tahu 32 is a one hour multi-layered performance with a unique integration of contemporary Maori dance choreography, video projection, set design and a powerful sound-score incorporating waiata (traditional song), haka (traditional war dance) and karanga (a woman's call of welcome).
Carrying only the coins from the sale of his land and the Wairua of a girl who shines on the horizon, Ngai Tahu 32 tells the story of one man's journey from Te Waiora a Tane (the living waters of Tane) to the next generation. As he travels through a series of tukutuku patterns, sometimes described as "the oceans between the carvings", he leaves behind him a trail of history, whakapapa, creation and imagination.
Ngai Tahu 32 not only reflects thoughts and experiences of contemporary Maori, but is a universal tale of struggle, loss, and ultimately, redemption.
Featuring dancers Jack Gray, Dolina Wehipeihana, Louise Potiki Bryant, Cathy Livermore and Bianca Hyslop, vocal performers; Waimihi Hotere and Corinna Hunziker, costumes designed by Elizabeth Whiting, lighting design by Vanda Karolczak and original sound-score by Paddy Free from the NZ electronica band Pitch Black.
Last toured in 2009 to Tasmania, Ngai Tahu 32 received wide acclaim;
"...mastery of singular images...told from the heart...mesmeric, powerful and moving."
