Hine Te Rēhia
Presented by Tuatara Collective
HINE TE RĒHIA is a devised multilingual theatre experience with song, dance, haka and text celebrating the movement of the, the winds of change and the shifting vibrations of energy and light.
Ignite. Activate. Illuminate. Resonate.
Devised, created and performed by an all female BIPOC cast, and directed by Bronwyn Turei, HINE TE RĒHIA addresses themes, ideas and issues that affect them and the environment in today’s hectic world.
Relevant, authentic and sometimes outrageous, this refreshing new generation of atua will push boundaries, provoke thought, and leave you gasping, in awe of their majesty and talent.
"Beautiful, strong wāhine presenting new beautiful, moving work."
“Emerging minority creatives will change the world, and if you don’t believe me, this show will convince you of that.”

FOR THE FALLEN
Tuatara Collective produces the hit show BATTLE CHORUS (created and performed by Jason Te Mete and Rutene Spooner), a social sing-a-long experience that brings people together for an unforgettable night of iconic melodies and sweet harmonies. The audiences form two teams, grab a drink, learn some choruses and then battle it out with an epic medley of songs.
Tuatara Collective works closely with Ahipoutu Collective in Tauranga Moana to deliver free Māori Theatre and Wellbeing Wānanga for rangatahi, as well as the highly successful large scale community engagement programme He Toi Kupu.
