Atamira Dance Company uplifts the voices of acclaimed choreographers and long-time collaborators, Bianca Hyslop and Eddie Elliott in this unique and powerful double bill.
Derived from and inspired by the whakataukī ‘Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua’, Ka Mua Ka Muri relates to te ao Māori perspectives of time where the past, present, and the future are intertwined. This contemporary dance experience explores both the significance of whakapapa while defining new aspirations for the future.
Bound together by a stellar design team, a cast of dynamic Māori dance artists and high-quality production, this production, full of energy and heart, invites audiences to experience a transformative hour where tradition collides with innovation, and past, present, and future converge on stage.
Aronui is proud to support Atamira and this powerful celebration of Māori contemporary dance.
