A double scoop of fun, sprinkled with aerial acrobatics, contortion, ice cream juggling, and encounters with friends from te taiao, this delightful te reo Māori circus journey blends fun, mischief, and environmental awareness.
On a sizzling day in Tāmaki Makaurau, siblings Miro and Nikau set off on a quest to get the biggest ice creams in Aotearoa for their whanau from the legendary Te Kao Store. They set off on a magic speedy haerenga to Te Hiku o te Ika, but on their return the ice creams start to melt, and their trip home turns into an epic survival adventure.
Tamariki will laugh and learn as the siblings navigate environmental challenges to find each other and get the ice cream home safely to the whānau, sharing important environmental issues through the wonders of circus.
Kua Rewa Te Aihikirīmi is our annual Tamariki show and will be presented in three venues across Tāmaki Makaurau this August.
– Te Pou Theatre (Aug 8th)
– Ellerslie Arts (Aug 15th) – tīkiti link coming
