Experience a vibrant night of powerful haka theatre and captivating performances by talented rangatahi from across Tāmaki Makaurau and for the first time, Te Tai Tokerau. Students from ten different schools and kura kaupapa Māori will unleash their powerful, creative expression on the Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre stage, breaking into the world of performing arts with their original haka theatre performance pieces.

Created by Hawaiki TŪ and supported by Auckland Live, Autaia celebrates the richness, diversity, and importance of Ngā Toi Māori (Māori performing arts). Every school has a story to be told, and every student has a light to shine. Join us as we showcase the vibrancy and creativity of rangatahi in this one-night only Haka Theatre show - Autaia!
