Te Moana Glow Show at Te Puna Creative Hub

Te Moana Glow Show is exclusively at Henderson's beauitful Kōmanawa Theatre, in partnership with Te Puna Creative Hub, this September school holidays!
This extraordinary, glow-in-the-dark experience is set beneath the waves of takutai moana and the mighty Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa. It follows the uplifting story of Kina, a loveable sea urchin who has lost her memory and her way.
As Kina journeys through the Pacific, she meets a hilarious and curious crew of glowing sea creatures – including dancing crabs, beautiful manta rays, jiving clams, and the grand Pacific Queen – all brought to life by more than 40 extraordinary, handcrafted puppets.
Guided by the wisdom of the ocean, Kina embarks on a journey of self-discovery to find her family, her true identity, and her inner strength. With the help of a kindly octopus and a little moana magic, she is reimagined as a radiant pearl.
He waka eke noa/We are all in this together is the guiding whakataukī of the show, with heartfelt themes of resilience, kindness, and the beauty within.
Bring your tamariki, whānau, and friends for this epic storytelling experience, loved by kids all around Aotearoa.
