Siblings
Siblings is a powerful new disability-led theatre work premiering at Te Pou after 3.5 years in development — an intimate, multi-layered exploration of sibling relationships, care, agency, and the messy beauty of whānau. Created and performed by four tāngata whaikaha artists, it blends personal stories, playful memories, and raw honesty into a moving, access-forward production that centres disabled experience with heart, humour, and depth.

Romeo & Juliet
ATC’s Romeo & Juliet blasts Shakespeare into the bold, stylish chaos of 1960s Italy; a fast, funny, high‑octane first half packed with mod fashion, flirtation, and razor‑sharp humour, before plunging into a darker, surreal, Death‑haunted finale. With standout performances, striking design, and daring reinterpretations, it’s a thrilling but uneven ride that dazzles more in its glitter than its grief.

Taniwha
Taniwha is Silo Theatre’s joyful, wildly inventive live‑film adventure for tamariki: a handmade world of cardboard puppets, live music, and real‑time movie magic. When Mereana discovers a taniwha disturbed by construction, she and her friends leap into action, celebrating kaitiakitanga, creativity, and courage. Bursting with imagination and Aotearoa heart, it’s a vibrant reminder of the power of community and storytelling.
