Hikoi Awhiowhio

  • THEATRE ROYAL NELSON 78 Rutherford Street Nelson, Nelson, 7010 New Zealand (map)

$20 - $40 per person. Book tickets via theatreroyalnelson.co.nz

Hikoi Awhiowhio is a collection of stories told by those from Te Tau lhu, who joined the Hikoi in 2024 to protest against the Treaty Principles Bill. These stories are woven together by Donna Mcleod. The journey starts at Kaiteriteri beach with karakia acknowledging the Nelson Tenths and unresolved grief, following the ferry trip and plane flights across Te Moana o raukawa - Cook Strait - to marching, to standing before the Beehive. These are the voices of pepe, tamariki, rangatahi, pakeke, kaumatua, and whanau. Through waiata, haka, karakia, Whiti and korero in Te Reo Maori, English and other languages and taonga puoro their stories are told. This is intergenerational, this is bicultural, this is multi-cultural, this is Aotearoa.
