Taki Rua Productions is excited to present Te Kuia me te Pūngāwerewere in a highly engaging, 30-minute piece of theatre in te reo Māori specially for pre school aged tamariki and their whānau. Suitable for young children of all backgrounds.
Inspired by the beloved children’s story The Kuia and the Spider by Patricia Grace with illustrations by Robyn Kahukiwa, Jamie McCaskill’s original Te Reo Māori Season play has been shortened with under 5s in mind.
Performed completely in te reo Māori, Te Kuia me te Pūngāwerewere is the untold story of the Kuia and her relationship with Pūpai the spider. While in the midst of their daily bickering, Kuia and Pūpai are suddenly transported from their home in Paekākāriki into the world of spiders. There, they must work together to save Spider World from the human world's suburban sprawl.
