Thoroughly Modern Maui

Whare Tapere Theatre AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND

A warrior and demigod, his adventures are woven into the fabric of Pacific history. In Aotearoa, this ‘Māori Superman’ was fast, fit, and funny. He was the total package. He slowed the sun, fished up the North Island and brought fire to the world – to name just a few of his feats!

Backed by a full band, burgeoning music theatre star Rutene Spooner channels this Māori hero into a modern-day icon – complete with rhinestones and glitter. This ‘haka-boogie-hori’ will be pulling out all his tricks from the past and reincarnating Māui into a living breathing musical rock star before your very eyes. Featuring charmingly quick-witted songs, hilarious antics and a heart-felt story.

"You will have the pleasure of learning and laughing while being exposed to a personal insight into the life of this highly talented and hilarious performer".
