Tiri: Te Araroa Woman Far Walking

An extraordinary mapping of Aotearoa New Zealand through the eyes of Te Tiriti o Waitangi Mahana. Creator of the acclaimed The Haka Party Incident, Katie Wolfe, in association with Auckland Theatre Company, directs this epic tale of Tiri Mahana, a 186-year-old matriarch, from her birth at the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi to present-day Aotearoa. This bilingual retelling written by Witi Ihimaera, Katie Wolfe, Maioha Allen and Tā Haare Williams is drawn from the original play Woman Far Walking by Witi Ihimaera. With award-winning actors Miriama McDowell and Nī Dekkers-Reihana, audiences are invited into a world where Tiri wants us all to remember that the good things, the right things in life, are worth fighting for. The play will be performed in both English and te reo Māori.
