NZSL INTERPRETED PERFORMANCE
This is a powerful new play about real-life events from 1979 in Auckland.
Scripted from real-life interviews with people involved in the “incident”, this play remembers the day when Māori activists, He Taua, stood up to the University of Auckland engineering students who did a mock haka every year.
Violence erupted that sent ripples through the nation and changed race relations in New Zealand forever.
This verbatim performance combines documentary and stagecraft to thrilling effect. Provocative, resonant and unforgettable – a not-to-be-missed theatre event.
This event will be fully interpreted, for one performance.
