CMNZ Series Hine Hōia

A magical re-imagining of 'The Soldier’s Tale' by Stravinsky

The New Zealand wars have come to an end, the pandemic has ravaged the country and Hine Hōia stands at the precipice of a world in tatters, until a chance encounter will change her life forever.

In this magical reimagining 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?
