Tāmaki Makaurau Premiere! A brand new polylogue by six Māori and Pasifika playwrights

“Taihoa, he aha te aho ka pīata mai i te matapihi rā?

Ko te rāwhiti koaia, ko Hurieta te rā.

“But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. ”

We open Kōanga Festival during Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori and the first day of Māhuru Māori with a celebration of whakaari reo Māori, a special reading of the recently published Rōmeo raua ko Hūrieta, Te Haumihiata Mason’s stunning translation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet as part of Kotahi Rau Pukapuka and published by Auckland University Press. 

I tēnei tau ka tuku mā te whakamāoritanga a Te Haumihiata Mason i a Rōmeo rāua ko Hūrieta hei whakarewa i Te Ahurei o Kōanga 2023 i Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori me te rangi tuatahi o Mahuru Māori. Nō roto mai i te kohinga o Kotahi Rau Pukapuka, he mea tā e Auckland University Press.

 

Join us as we share select scenes with a cast of mātanga i te ao whakaari, led by ringatohu and kaiwhakataki Jennifer Te Atamira Ward Lealand.
