Event Details

Waiata, whānau and the wonders of Te Taiao (the natural world) come together in this vibrant and interactive performance for young children and their families.

Pīpī Paopao is a joyful celebration of te reo Māori and the natural world, designed especially for tamariki aged 3 to 7. Through playful theatre, music and movement, this experience introduces children to the sounds and stories of Manu Rangatira (noble birdlife), echoing the rhythms of nature and te ao Māori.

Guided by Māori storytelling traditions, the performance uses proverbs and metaphors to help little hatchlings grow in confidence, imagination and connection. Whether your child is soaring through the trees or simply enjoying the sounds, Pīpī Paopao invites everyone to sing, play and explore in their own way.

This production is ideal for both fluent speakers and families just beginning their te reo Māori journey.

Duration: 45 minutes, no interval
Suitable: Ages 3 to 7 years.
