To much acclaim, Mai Te Uira was premiered in Koraunui Stokes Valley in 2023, and is grounded in a karakia that references the atua and the whakapapa of our art forms and explores how innovation can be transformative when we open our minds to new ways of thinking.
Told through the stories of three atua – Te Uira, the atua of lightning and new connections like technology, digital culture, and cyberspace; Tānemahuta, a creator himself, providing us with our own capability and capacity to create; and Hine-te-Iwaiwa, whose strength we seek when searching for knowledge to give, receive, and connect – this creative collaboration of music and digital animation reflects the transmission of knowledge and cements ancestral relationships.
Created to be performed within community spaces, Mai Te Uira will be presented for local schools and community groups during the day and ticketed audiences at night.
“It took me on an amazing journey that I wasn’t expecting – it was out of this world.”
“I brought the whole family – it was a roller coaster of music and visuals that kept us all completely enthralled.”
This creative collaboration is presented as a result of a unique partnership between The Dowse Art Museum and Chamber Music New Zealand.
