A comedy of consequences, Wahine Mātātoa is a story of our wahine Kāi Tahu across time and space. Our hero, Elizabeth, navigates how to balance decisions that could potentially end her dreams of adventure, while visiting the (mostly) true stories of her ancestor, Erihāpeti Pātahi, a high born, high-spirited wahine, a force as untameable as the sea.
How do we navigate the future while holding on to our dreams? Turns out even the naughtiest of tupuna can guide us on our paths…
FREE to attend, but tickets essential
Proudly presented by Theatreworks and WOW! Productions.
