Ka hoki nga whakaaro ki Te Huinga o te Kahurangi
te Murau o te tini, te wenerau o te mano.
Ratou kua Wheturangitia.
Te ihi, te wehi, te mana, te tapu,
nga rangatira onamata, na koutou i toa, na matou.

The contemplative beauty and quiet intensity of Noh is tempered with the grace and vigour of kapa haka in order to tell this story of defiance and compassion.

The New Zealand Noh Theatre Co eschew politics and re-enactment to present what the Waikato Times has called 'a reverential incantation.'

Written and directed by John G. Davies, and presented by The New Zealand Noh Theatre.

This event is part of the 2008 FUEL Festival.
