      Neke is an outstanding, challenging performance that leaves you with a full and happy heart. 

      Celebrated Māori theatre, film and television actor, Scotty Cotter (Tainui, Ngāti Kahu, Fiji), and his creative collaborators, Braedyn Togi, Tracey Tawhiao, J.Zealous invite you into the fluid, magnetic and dynamic world of Neke.

      Neke is a theatrical exploration and discovery of the pou (pillars) left for Māori to navigate their individual haerenga (journey). 
      Neke challenges you to voyage, perhaps discover your kaitiaki (spiritual guide) or ask what mana motuhake (self-determination) means to you? 

      Through physical theatre Neke weaves together the diverse representations of Māori society expressed with movement, waiata, characters, and hard out crack ups. This high-powered cast encourages you to look within yourself and ask: what do I hold precious? And am I on the right path? 

      Kia tū tahi tātou. Let us stand as one. Dig into the hard clay and find the rich soil for yourself. Neke first premiered at Kia Mau Festival 2021.
