Ko¯anga Festival to move online

sTa¯maki Makaurau (Auckland) faces another Covid-19 surge, Te Pou Theatre has responded with a reframing of their annual Ko¯anga Festival. AWhile they were hoping to bring the community together in person, the reimagined free digital version brings Ma¯ori storytelling directly into whare around Aotearoa and globally from September 2-27. Te Pou has made the decision to move their full programme of new work online to help keep people safe and ensure accessibility for all. The landmark event of Ko¯anga 2020 which is a collection of short works originally conceived for the stage will now be presented separately in short digital theatre experiences. The works include The Chosen One by Albert Belz, Willie’s Wa¯nanga on Wheels by Amber Curreen and Tainui Tukiwaho, Little Brown Lies by Annette Morehu, Found in Translation by Tainui Tukiwaho and ID10M by Antonio Te Maioha. Each will be pre-recorded and premiere on YouTube on Friday’s during the festival and then uploaded onto the Te Pou website. On Sundays during the festival the writers will take part in a series of live online Hui, allowing audiences to hear directly from the writers. These hui will also allow the opportunity to share thoughts and ask any questions about the work, and as such Ma¯ori reviewers are encouraged to get in touch to be part of these korero. Te Pou is also delighted that their digital programme will now encompass the dates of Mahuru Ma¯ori and Te Wiki o Te Reo Ma¯ori. All members of the public are invited to join the festival. For those who purchased tickets to the previous Ko¯anga 2020 events, the relevant ticketing agencies will be in touch regarding refunds. For those who are able, Te Pou would appreciate donating the cost of the tickets to help support the wha¯nau through uncharted waters.
