An extraordinary mapping of Aotearoa, seen through the eyes of Te Tiriti o Waitangi Mahana. Her story. Our history.From the acclaimed creator of The Haka Party Incident, director Katie Wolfe (Ngāti Mutunga, Ngāti Tama) brings this epic tale
of Tiri Mahana, a 186‑year‑old matriarch whose life spans from the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi to present-day
Aotearoa.
This bilingual retelling by Witi Ihimaera Smiler (Te Whānau a Kai, Te Aitanga a Mahaki, Ngāti Ira, Ngāti Porou), Katie Wolfe and Maioha Allen (Ngāti Apakura, Waikato Maniapoto) draws on
the original play Woman Far Walking.
Featuring award-winning actors Miriama McDowell (Ngāti Hine, Ngāpuhi) and Nī Dekkers-Reihana (Ngāpuhi, Te Rarawa, Ngāti Porou), this powerful production celebrates wāhine Māori and the rangatahi who will carry Aotearoa forward – reminding us that the good things, the right things in life, are worth fighting for.
Written By Witi Ihimaera Smiler.
