The New Zealand wars have come to an end, the pandemic has ravaged the country and Hine Hōia stands at the precipice of a world in tatters, until a chance encounter will change her life forever.
In this magical re-imagining of The Soldier’s Tale by Stravinsky, Ngāi Tahu/Ngātiwai writer and director Juanita Hepi and Cirko Kali’s Danny Lee Syme reunite with composer Hamish Oliver to bring you this epic saga of love, greed, trickery, tradition, and triumph.
Drawing on themes and forms from Māori oral history, storytelling, taonga pūoro, circus, and chamber music, Hine Hōia is a story for everyone, asking us what we’d be willing to give up for fame and fortune?
Kua mutu noa ngā Pakanga o Aotearoa, kua hē te motu i te mate urutā, ā, ko Hine Hōia e tū ana ki te pari o tētahi ao pākarukaru. Kia tūpono rā i tētahi tūtakitanga i tino huri ai tōna ao.
He whakahoutanga tēnei o The Soldier’s Tale nā Stravinsky. Ka whakakotahi anō a Juanita Hepi, he kaituhi, he kaitohutohu nō Ngāi Tahu/Ngātiwai, rātou ko Danny Lee Syme o Cirko Kali, ko Hamish Oliver, he kaitito, ki te whakaari mai i tēnei pakiwaitara e kōrero ana mō te aroha, mō te hao, mō te māminga, mō te tikanga tuku iho, me te toa anō hoki.
Ko Hine Hōia tētahi pakiwaitara mā te katoa. Ko ōna kaupapa me ōna huatau i takea mai i ngā kōrero tuku iho, i ngā kōrero paki, i ngā taonga puoro, i te maninirau, me ngā taka puoro anō hoki. E ui mai ana a Hine Hōia, he aha pea tātou ka tukuna atu e rongonui ai, e whai rawa ai?
