Hinepau Performance

Wow, what an amazing performance we watched last week of the legend of Hinepau. We were amazed with how well we could understand a performance even though the whole show was spoken in Maori. We worked out that actions, props and facial expressions help to tell stories in drama. We also recognised quite a few Maori words that we knew from our Kapa Haka sessions with Matua Steve. At the end the actors translated the story for us.

Here are a couple of photos of the show for you to enjoy.
