Ode to Te Rauparaha

Presented by Te Rūnanga O Toa Rangatira and Te Rākau Hua o Te Wao Tapu, Ode to Te Rauparaha is a performance about the eponymous ancestor Te Rauparaha of the Ngāti Toa Rangatira nation.

A man whose leadership of his people had significant impacts on Aotearoa. The performance is by esteemed actor Jim Moriarty, kapa haka and reo Māori expert Ihaia Ropata of Ngāti Toa and features the percussive talents of Michael Barker.

The three performers bring together spoken word, moteatea and music as a lament to Te Rauparaha and the region of Te Ūpoko o te Ika.

Bookings are required for the Saturday 4th November sessions at Ūpane, Porirua, but are optional for the Saturday 28th October sessions at Te Papa Tongarewa.

Koha are welcome and support Te Rākau and Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira to present this event.

NOTE: Saturday 28th October sessions now take place at Te Papa Tongarewa, while Saturday 4th November sessions take place at Ūpane, 3 Wi Neera Drive, Porirua.
