Inā te huhua o ngā kōrero.
Ka tūhono atu tātou ki ngā uri nei o Tūwharetoa I whai wāhi atu ki tēnei kaupapa.

Tērā te Auahi — a contemporary interpretation of the 1886 Tarawera eruption, one of Aotearoa's most devastating natural disasters.
Created by Te Whare Tapere o Te Arawa, this moving production explores more than the destruction left in the wake of the eruption.

Through memory, whakapapa, and lived experience, it reflects on the enduring relationship between people and the land, the fragility of human life, and the resilience of a culture that has carried these stories for generations.

Join us as Tama-te-Rerewa Koopu and Renata Te Wano kōrero about the creative process, the emotion behind the performance, and the significance of bringing this historic event to life for contemporary audiences. 🌄✨️

In this kōrero, Lucien McDermott shares the journey behind his band, Sonorous, and the creation of their powerful new waiata, State of a Nation. Alongside band mates Khani Te Mete and Cooper Paalvast, the trio have come together to create a sound that blends soul, blues, rock and raw storytelling into something truly unique.

A beautiful, kind gesture was made by Pouti, lending a helping hand in translating one of their waiata — helping bring our language into a genre where it’s rarely been heard before.

A powerful fusion of sound, identity and expression 🌿⚡️
