Atamira Dance Company presents Ka Tiri o te Moana in association with Auckland Live
Due to popular demand, Ka Tiri o te Moana will return for one performance only on Queens Wharf as part of the Moana Festival.
Drawing on Kāi Tahu mātauraka and powerful collaborations across dance, sound, and visual design, the work invites audiences into a mesmerising world shaped by our deep connection to the ocean and the urgent realities of climate change. The blending of live performance and installation honours Kāi Tahu ancestor Tamarereti whose courage and curiosity continue to inspire responses to rising sea levels.

“Ka Tiri o te Moana is a meditation on courage, curiosity and the power of movement to carry us into new worlds, just as our tīpuna once did.”
