One way to describe the Matariki Glow Show is literally legendary. A massive scale puppet show for 5 - 9 year olds with magical glow-in-the-dark characters from Māori myth and legend. This ground breaking, cutting edge new concept features over 45 glow-in-the-dark puppets under ultraviolet light in a black box theatre environment.
Rich in Te Reo Māori and Māori culture it’s an upbeat show that has the audience fizzing from the onset. This stunning 40-minute show is underpinned by catchy music that engages the audience immediately, followed by a Q&A session afterwards for our tamariki. There’s an abundance of educational content to share with all your friends.
The show is a wonderful story of te kāhui whetu õ Matariki (the star cluster/ sisters of Matariki) as they prepare for Te Tau Hou (Māori New Year) and the journey of the smallest star, Waipuna-a-Rangi. The show has been nothing short of a complete success having toured from the Far North to South Auckland and appealed to over 12,000 children to 60 shows at 10 venues with multiple events even having sold out.
This will be an extraordinary show you won't want to miss.
