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.

It includes taumaha content about sexual violence, abuse and trauma that may be triggering. It is recommended for ages 16+, the performance is restricted to age 14 years old and up. Whānau and caregivers should use discretion and consider the maturity of younger audience members and the potential impact on them.
