WHAT'S ON

The Matariki Glow Show tells the gorgeous story of te kāhui whetū o Matariki (the star cluster/whānau of Matariki) as they gather to light up the skies for te tau hou Māori (Māori New Year). But where is the smallest star Waipuna-a-rangi? Could she be lost in the moana?

The show brings this mythical tale to life with its unique puppets, which glow under UV lights in a black box theatre and intrigue tamariki wherever they go.

Delightfully bilingual, the Matariki Glow Show educates as it entertains, with its cutting-edge concept, upbeat original soundtrack, and themes of whakawhanaungatanga, friendship and togetherness. It offers a truly memorable experience with positive and uplifting messages for tamariki.

​The Matariki Glow Show is back by popular demand in a live performance series from Sarah Burren, who created the concept in 2017 and has toured Aotearoa with it since.
