A THEATRE MARAE KŌRERO: Incarceration, broken promises, and the pursuit of hope

Te Rākau Hua o Te Wao Tapu presents Out the Gate, a major new Theatre Marae work by Helen Pearse-Otene, directed by Jim Moriarty, with choreography by Tanemahuta Gray. Rooted in lived experience and kaupapa Māori led research, Out the Gate is a layered, embodied and communal response to the stories that follow people in the prison pipeline as they transition back to whānau and hapori. With a full ensemble of 16 performers and live music by Rameka Tamaki it will be a memorable and uplifting experience. Tell your friends.
