On Monday, Takitini were very lucky to be able to go to the Christchurch Town Hall to watch an amazing show called Tūmahana. Tūmahana was the creation story told by the people of Kai Tahu which is the South Island tribe.
In the show we saw a narrator who was wearing a purple suit and told the story, hanging hoola hoops, silks, a trapeze bar and ropes. The actors were doing tricks and acrobatics. There were men fighting with traditional fighting sticks called taiaha.
The Christchurch Symphony Orchestra was playing the music throughout the show. It was amazing.
