Production Details



Healing rongoa for generational trauma and loss of takatāpuitanga.

He Tangata is an unveiling of takatapuitanga.

A search for the forgotten taonga of Te Ao Maori. A reminder of oneness. This work dances through the realms of ira tangata and ira atua, exploring whakapapa and stories of takatapui existence, to remember, mourn and heal from generational trauma.

In an act to weave takatapui and Māoritanga back together, He Tangata looks backwards whilst moving forwards as we travel within the past, present and future of Takatapuitanga.
