      Pīata invites you to experience a powerful evening of contemporary dance that bridges ancient wisdom with modern exploration.

      The first act, Wai Taketake by Tūrongo Collective, delves into the sacred essence of water and blood as symbols of life, lineage, and power. This evocative work challenges us to reflect on our connections and how they are perceived, whether as sources of strength or as threats by those who fear our deep, unapologetic ties to ancestry and identity.

      The evening continues with Myokine, a compelling work by renowned Canadian choreographer Anne Plamondon. In this piece, the body becomes a beacon of resilience, beauty, and hope, responding to the pressing demands of our time. Through the concept of myokines, molecules of hope, released by the body in motion. Plamondon’s ensemble of dancers explores the transformative power of movement to heal, unite, and elevate.

      Together, these two acts offer a journey through the profound and intricate layers of human existence. Pīata is not just a performance; it is a celebration of the power within our bodies, our connections, and our shared resilience.
