Chamber Music NZ | Hine Hōia (Wellington)

A contemporary revisiting of Stravinsky's 'The Soldier’s Tale'

Juanita Hepi Director
Danny Lee Syme choreographer

In this magical re-imagining of The Soldier’s Tale by Stravinsky, Ngāi Tahu/Ngātiwai writer and director Juanita Hepi and Cirko Kali’s Danny Lee Syme reunite with composer Hamish Oliver to bring you this epic saga of love, greed, trickery, tradition, and triumph.

Drawing on themes and forms from Māori oral history, storytelling, taonga pūoro, circus, and chamber music, Hine Hōia is a story for everyone, asking us what we’d be willing to give up for fame and fortune?
