"Kia hora te marino, Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana
Hei huarahi mā tātou i te rangi nei, Aroha atu, Aroha mai,
Tātou i a tātou katoa...hui e! Tāiki e!
May peace be widespread, may the sea be like greenstone,
A pathway for us all this day
Let us show respect for each other, for one another,
Bind us...all...together!
An opportunity to shift to meet the perceptions
In 2020, Tūrongo Collective released Nohopuku, a theatre activation piece which responded to indigenous children diagnosed with western titles.
After a successful season the piece was then morphed into a filmic form similar to the lens of the theatrical piece, maintaining the lens of a childs perception and currently is touring in lands outside of Aotearoa.
We intend to tour and further perform this activation piece while the film tours internationally in the hopes that we meet the needs and voices of so many unheard.
Our film is available for rent below.
Please be aware that this film is intended for educational purposes and is not directed nor targeting any individuals or organisations but rather is responding through your silent participation in viewing and listening to this voice
