Matariki, the traditional Maori New Year, is marked at the first appearance of the Matariki star cluster - also known as the Pleiades or seven sisters. The pre dawn rise of the cluster can be seen in the last few days of May every year and the new year is marked at the next new moon - this year on 14 June.
The Northland Community Circus Network are set to Light Up Northland this Matariki with fire shows in four Northland centres.
The shows, in Whangarei, Dargaville, Kaikohe and Waipu will be around 45 minutes long. The shows follow Maui’s search for fire, created by Kumarani’s two French circus teachers Matt Merle and Joe Carvalho or Co. Tangatawiwi Circus. Joe and Matt are building fire sculptures and coaching teams with local support.
Rain dates are the following Sunday or check www.circuskumarani.co.nz
Mark your calendar now to support this exciting initiative of what we hope will become an iconic annual Matariki event in Northland.
