Te Tangi ā te Tūī

Te Rēhia Theatre (Aotearoa New Zealand) in partnership with The Dust Palace (Aotearoa New Zealand)

This documentary is a look inside the development of Te Tangi ā te Tūī, a fantastical and allegorical tale of loss of te reo Māori and its reclamation.“At the time we came to Aotearoa, we came to a land already populated. Populated by manu. The Land of Birds.Populated too by ngā patupaiarehe, ngā turehu. At that meeting point, as we became tangata of this here whenua, we transformed into something different from what we were before.What is that feeling in your chest? When you hear that call? That call we all know? That one that sounds like home? It is simply the acknowledgement of that ancient meeting.”Te Rēhia Theatre, in partnership with The Dust Palace present Te Tangi ā Te Tūī – a unique te reo Māori cirque-theatre work of scale. It is the fruition of a long held desire of these two organisations to create cirque-theatre together. The lead creatives were compelled by the idea of the “original song” of the Tūī and how, as mimics, their call has changed over time shaped by the changing world around it. This serves as the underlying metaphor for our story which weaves a fantastical and allegorical tale of loss of te reo Māori and its reclamation based on the writer’s own whānau story over the generations.
