Come celebrate MATARIKI with a giant scale puppet show of magical glow-in-the-dark characters from Māori myth and legend! This innovative, cutting edge concept features 40+ glow-in-the-dark puppets under UV lights in a black box theatre environment. 15,000+ children saw this extraordinary show in 2017/18. 25,000+ children saw it in 2019. It’s a must-see for Matariki!

Now, The Glow Show Company is back on tour with an all new show for 2020 and this time we go under the sea! Hiwa-i-te-rangi (the Matariki wishing star) helps a courageous Kina on her journey of discovery across the Pacific Ocean to Aotearoa. It’s a delightful story of our kai moana and the whakataukī “He waka eke noa. We are all in this together.”

The upbeat 45-minute show has the audience buzzing from the onset. Illuminating kids’ hearts and minds, they’ll be singing all the way home! Rich in Te Reo Māori, there’s an abundance of educational content to take back to the classroom.
