A touring theatre company reveals the powerful story of Taki Rua - a 30-year journey shaping bicultural identity through art and activism.
What began as a bicultural experiment between Māori and Pākehā became Taki Rua Theatre - a defining force in Aotearoa performance. Following a new generation of artists on tour, this documentary traces a 30-year struggle for representation, identity, and change, led by visionary wāhine toa who reshaped the cultural landscape.
Rialto Recommends: A vital and deeply human portrait of Taki Rua Theatre - where art becomes a site of resistance, identity, and transformation. As past and present converge, this is a powerful story of cultural courage, led by the wāhine who refused to be silenced.
