• Ā mua weaves kupu, taonga puoro, and orchestral strings into an intimate exploration of Māori futurism, whakapapa, and taiao – spiralling connections across time.

  • An unapologetically daring disability-led double-bill. Dance-theatre, living robots, collide in a bold vision of humanity, technology, and the future. Matched by a raw, intimate work of motherhood and resistance! Sensual, immersive, and unafraid to make noise.

  • Emily Kristen Morris and JJ Niemann, all the way from NYC, are joining forces for a one-of-a-kind concert experience in New Zealand, proudly presented by Little Joke Productions.
