Te Pou and Te Rēhia Theatre Company 

Commissioned by Circa Theatre, Te Pou and Te Rēhia Theatre Company come together to present a new 10 minute theatre piece written and directed by Tainui Tukiwaho. This tongue in cheek ten minute work is designed for online viewing and gives the audience a “real life” zoom date that has been arranged by ‘Karen Karena’, the proud proprietor of COLOUR – We Don’t See It, which is NZ’s leading interracial dating agency.

Tainui created this work as a satirical commentary on the perils of translation, the danger of a little knowledge and the othering of Māori and those considered “diverse” in our society.

Our cast includes Acushla-Tara Kupe, Tyler Wilson Kōkiri and Tuakoi Ohia

Te Rēhia Theatre is the company in residence at Te Pou Theatre and is pleased to be working with Circa Theatre after successful seasons in the venue including SolOTHELLO (2017) and Larger Than Life (2018).
